Chocalan Estate Merlot Maipo Valley Chile
Description: The Vina Chocalan Merlot has an compelling, earthy nose of tobacco, wet earth, and dark plum aromas. In the mouth it offers smooth textured flavours of plum, earth and a core of stony minerality that plays off against a nicely restrained hint of oak. The acid levels are good and the tannins are restrained to the point of being nearly imperceptible. Eminently drinkable when young, this wine will benefit from some years ageing. Chocalan’s 80 hectares of vineyard are situated in the Maipo Valley, nestled between the Andes and the Coastal Mountain range. Proximity to the Pacific Ocean ensures the heat of the warm days is mitigated by the cool breezes funnelled down the valley at night. This gives a longer ripening period, and more elegant, less jammy wines as a result. (12 x 75 cl)
Price: £88.99
