Product Notes

Caliterra Merlot Reserva wine, hailing from Chile's celebrated Colchagua Valley, promises an intoxicating fusion of conviviality and elegance. This dark, ruby-red wine bursts with robust notes of ripe berries, chocolaty undertones, and slight herbal nuances. Matured in oak barrels, it possesses a well-rounded, smooth texture, elegantly combining liners of supple tannins and a vibrant finish. The wine pairs superbly with robust dishes, elevating culinary experiences to new heights. Caliterra Merlot Reserva is indeed a delightful treat for the discerning wine lover, representing the graceful complexity of Chilean winemaking tradition.

Tasting Notes

This wine has a deep ruby red colour. The nose is fresh with aromas of berries such as raspberry and strawberry. These are accompanied by black pepper and snuff notes, with some hints of violet typical of Malbec. The palate is refreshing and balanced with vibrant acidity.

About the Winery

Nestled in the breathtaking vineyard valleys of Central Chile, Caliterra Winery embodies the essence of Chilean wine country. Its name is derived from the Spanish words "calidad" meaning quality and "tierra" meaning land, a representation that aptly suits this prestigious estate.

Founded in 1996 through a partnership between two wine aficionados – Robert Mondavi and Viña Errázuriz's President Eduardo Chadwick – Caliterra had a clear goal: to craft high-quality, ecologically friendly wines with a distinctly Chilean character. Proving to be a harmonic union of traditional Chilean and innovative Californian winemaking techniques, their wines exude an allure that often captivates both seasoned sommeliers and budding oenophiles alike.

The vineyards of Caliterra stretch luxuriantly over the hilly landscape of the Colchagua Valley. Here, the vines are bathed in abundant sunlight and cooled by the breezes from the Andes, providing perfect conditions for growing an array of grape varieties. From robust Cabernet Sauvignons and husky Syrahs to refreshing Sauvignon Blancs and elegant Chardonnays, their portfolio of wines offers a taste for every palette.

However, what sets Caliterra apart from its counterparts is its keen consciousness toward sustainability. The winery is steadfast in its commitment to producing premium wines while operating within a framework of environmental respect and social responsibility. Their sustainability efforts encompass water conservation, recycling, carbon footprint reduction and improved worker's welfare...a testament to their ethos of 'respect for the land and its people.'

Today, Caliterra Winery continues to showcase the richness and diversity of Chile's wine-producing regions to a global audience, offering an unrivalled range of wines that beautifully illustrate the unique terroir of the Colchagua Valley. It is fitting then that Caliterra, a palpable embodiment of the harmony between wine, nature and mankind, is etched in the minds of wine enthusiasts world over.
