Familia Enriquez Barrel Selection Merlot 2021

Sagrada Familia, Chile

Familia Enriquez Barrel Selection Merlot is a beautiful private label Merlot from the Sagrada Familia region of Chile. Korta Vineyards is located near the 35th parallel south, which is the global location of the best wines on the planet! With the spectacular Patagonia glaciers to the south, the arid Atacama Desert to the north, the magnificent Andes Mountains to the east, and the wild Pacific Ocean to the west, this is the ideal climate for the production of the world’s finest wines. The more than 180 hectares of red grapes are located in the Sagrada Familia Valley, surrounded by hills, and with a very warm microclimate. In addition, its proximity to the sea allows it to be influenced by coastal winds, which causes a great thermal amplitude between day and night. These particular characteristics are ideal for the quality, color and concentration of red wines.

Familia Enriquez Barrel Selection Merlot is a young wine with cherry red hues and bright acidity. A complex blend of fruits and fresh herb aromas in harmony with the contribution from the oak. Smooth and balanced mouthfeel nuanced with spicy and mature cherry notes. Balanced, medium-bodied and good persistence in its aromatic profile, with pleasant vanilla notes.

Enjoy Familia Enriquez Barrel Selection Merlot over the next 5-6 years with grilled meats, short ribs, rich vegetable dishes and aged cheeses.
