Alpaca
Merlot
The Merlot grape thrives in this region
Chile, Central Valley, Alpaca, Merlot, 2012.
Introduction
The producer of Alpaca originates from Central Valley in Chile, Maipo, which is one of the four regions in the Central Valley. The winery is based close to Santiago, capital of Chile.
The Merlot grape thrives in this region, hot sunshine during the day and cold spells during the night, as well as being close to the Pacific Ocean and the Andes. The gold coloured Alpaca aids the labelling of the bottle well. Aging in oak barrels added to its flavours, such as a touch of vanilla and chocolate.
