Description

Discover the charm of the Mendoza region with Bodegas y Viñedos Calle Larga Merlot. This wine is a beautiful expression of Argentine winemaking, where high-altitude vineyards—reaching up to 1,350 meters—allow the grapes to benefit from intense solar exposure and significant daily temperature variations. This unique terroir ensures slow, optimal ripening, which results in grapes with deep color concentration, structured tannins, and an intense aromatic profile. In the glass, you will find a ruby-hued wine with violet reflections that promises a sophisticated experience. On the nose, it offers a delightful bouquet of red and black fruits in compote, elegantly complemented by subtle notes of spice and a touch of coffee. On the palate, it is remarkably well-balanced, featuring velvety tannins that provide a smooth, approachable mouthfeel, making it an incredibly versatile and gastronomic wine. It is the perfect companion for a variety of dishes: pair it with traditional Argentine empanadas, a hearty mushroom risotto, or roasted red meats like a succulent medallion of filet mignon. For a more casual meal, it works beautifully with a classic pepperoni pizza or an eggplant caponata. Whether you are hosting a festive dinner or enjoying a quiet, relaxing evening, the Calle Larga Merlot offers an authentic taste of Argentina’s passion for viticulture at an exceptional value. Serve it slightly cool at 16°C to fully appreciate its complex fruit character and refined structure. It is a testament to the winery's dedication to quality, designed to elevate your everyday dining experiences into memorable occasions.
