SANTA EMA SELECT TERROIR (GUARACHI) MERLOT 2018

Intense ruby red. Red fruits such as plums and spices with light notes of toast. Ripe, smooth, and well balanced. White meats, pastas, steamed vegetables, and cheeses.

Vineyards located in the agricultural heart of the valley, where the warm climate and beneficial daily temperature oscillation delivers elegant and well-balanced reds.

The 2018 harvest began a little later than normal due to a cold and rainy spring followed by a temperate summer. High temperatures in March and April allowed the fruit to finish ripening and also helped compensate for the late start on the harvest, which ended in early May. The quality was very good, and despite yields that were higher than expected, the wines have good aromatic intensity and acidity as well as the proper volume, character, freshness, and rounded tannins.
