Kunza Merlot

Winemaker Notes

Our Merlot has a bright ruby-violet color. The wine has intense aromas with abundant notes of ripe red fruits, plum and hints of pepper. Its tannins are sweet and velvety, and it has a long and lingering finish.
 
Ideal companion for roast beef, pork, pasta and fresh cheese.
