The Caliterra Reserva Merlot is a true treat. This red wine is a wonderful sensory experience, crafted with passion at Caliterra. The Caliterra Reserva Merlot boasts a rich and complex flavor that surprises you from the very first moment. This winery's exceptional quality stems primarily from exploring nature's offerings. They consider the terroir and microclimate of each vineyard and select the most suitable grapes for each. This is also the case with the Merlot grapes used in this Caliterra Reserva Merlot. Thanks to the abundant sunshine, the grapes have been able to ripen perfectly, resulting in a juicy and fruity wine.

From Merlot grape to Caliterra Reserva Merlot

Caliterra's vineyards are primarily located in the Colchagua Valley, an area 130 kilometers south of the capital, Santiago. This region is considered one of Chile's finest wine regions. In some years, with the winemaker's explicit permission, a tiny amount of Malbec is added to Caliterra Reserva Merlot to give the red wine a slightly more body. The Merlot grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks to ensure the Merlot retains its fresh character. Then, 30 percent of the juice is aged for seven to nine months in French oak for the second or third time. This gives the Caliterra Reserva Merlot a little more depth without creating an overly woody flavor. An extremely complex process, but thanks to the skillful work of Caliterra's winemaker, the result is magnificent.

Enjoy Caliterra Reserva Merlot

Everything about this Chilean red wine seems perfect. The color, the phenomenal aroma, and the exquisite taste. We warn you, one bottle isn't enough; you'll keep sipping on Caliterra Reserva Merlot, because you can't get enough. The bright color invites you to use your nose. A pleasant aroma of sweet cherries, blackberries, and berries immediately strikes you. Sublime! The taste of Caliterra Reserva Merlot is a sight to behold. Juicy, fruity, and incredibly smooth. You'll taste cherries, plums, but also more complex flavors like vanilla and a hint of chocolate on the back of the tongue. What's especially wonderful about this wine is that its smoothness prevails!
