Merlot from Argentina

Finca Las Moras DADA No.2 2023

This artistic red wine from Argentina is a wonderful discovery. The single-varietal Merlot Finca Las Moras DADA No.2 is a nod to Dadaism, the movement that deliberately sought to set itself apart from conventional art. Nonetheless, chief winemaker Eduardo Casademont joins the ranks of representatives of the high art of Argentine winemaking.The bouquet of this red wine from the Pedernal Valley (in the province of San Juan, on the border with Mendoza) is wonderfully complex. Notes of cherries, blackberries, cassis, mocha and cocoa as well as pepper, licorice and violets combine to create a feast for the senses.On the palate, this Merlot from Argentina is juicy, very velvety and dense. The red wine has great harmony and a remarkable length. The intense fruitiness is also noticeable on the palate. The finish is also characterized by nuances of violets and jasmine.The high altitudes in the Pedernal Valley bring with them great differences between day and night temperatures and therefore the most pronounced temperature fluctuations in Argentina. Viticulture is practised up to an altitude of around 1,300 meters. The result is grapes with a high concentration of aromas and extraordinary freshness. The ageing of Finca Las Moras DADA No.2 in heavily toasted French and American oak also contributes to the special taste experience.Try the purple Merlot from Finca Las Moras from the high altitudes of Mendoza at a drinking temperature of 16 to 18 degrees. This Argentinian red wine is a great accompaniment to a steak with a rosemary and mustard crust, delicate Italian pasta dishes or vegetable couscous with meatballs.

Salentein Barrel Selection Merlot 2023

This Barrel Selection from the Argentinian winery Bodegas Salentein in the Valle de Uco at the foot of the Andes is a single-varietal Merlot. Winemaker José Galante, one of Argentina's best-known and most successful oenologists and a former professor at the University of Maza, has created a full-bodied, wonderfully fruity Merlot that is as intense as it is nuanced.This is due in particular to the high temperatures during the day in the Uco Valley, which are accompanied by cool nights, so that optimal ripening of the grapes is guaranteed.The Barrel Selection Merlot has a deep red color with hints of blue. The nose reveals fruit, ripe quinces, wild berries and spices, combined with tobacco and vanilla nuances from ageing in French oak barrels. The palate is extremely full-bodied, soft and superbly structured, with ripe and very fine tannins and a long, flattering finish.This Barrel Selection Merlot not only shows a great, fruity richness, but also has a lot of substance and concentration and therefore much more character than its competitors. If you are looking for the typical and not just fruity type of Merlot, this is the wine for you. In this respect, the Salentein Barrel Selection Merlot is exactly what Bodegas Salentein want to achieve, namely to bring the wonderful terroir of their vineyards in Mendoza into the bottle.This Merlot is a pleasure on its own. As a food pairing, it loves matured hard cheese, but also all dishes with beef, red meat and anything grilled. We recommend serving this red wine at a drinking temperature of 16 degrees and decanting it half an hour beforehand.
