The Unique Terroir of Maipo Valley
The Maipo Valley, with its historical significance and ideal climate, serves as the perfect nurturing ground for the La Misión Merlot Reserva Especial. At higher elevations in gravelly soils, the vineyards benefit from a distinct diurnal temperature variation—hot days and cool nights—that aids the development of complex flavors and acidity in the grapes. This region, characterized by a Mediterranean climate, offers dry summers that cultivate the deep body and lush fruit profile unique to these Merlots.
Viticulture and Winemaking Techniques
The journey of La Misión Merlot Reserva Especial begins with handpicked grapes, selected at peak ripeness to capture maximum flavor. The fermentation process carefully preserves fruit purity, while aging in oak barrels introduces layers of spice and an elegant structure to the wine. This careful integration of tradition and innovation ensures each bottle reflects the true spirit of its terroir.

- Palate: Its lush, velvety body delivers a perfect balance of fruit-forward notes and spices. Robust tannins provide structure, while subtle herbaceous elements intrigue, leading to a long, fulfilling finish that resonates with complexity.
Perfect Pairings and Serving Suggestions
