Casa Elena Merlot 2018
Valle Central
Ripe, moreish Merlot from a family estate that makes wines that combine Chile’s natural vibrancy with their Italian heritage. The wine is brimful of lush cherry and plum flavour, enhanced by lingering notes of smoke and black pepper. A real find.

Velvety Merlot is the grape behind some of the world’s most sensuous reds. And Chile has worked wonders with the grape, creating some of the tastiest and best value examples around. Take Casa Elena 2018 from this family estate in Chile’s Maule Valley. It’s always a pleasure to work with Cristian and the team at Cremaschi Furlotti. Here they blend their Italian heritage with a long winemaking tradition and state-of-the-art technology. You can taste it in their wines. There’s an old-world elegance to this super-soft Chilean red that makes it irresistible. It’s full of silky yet vibrant dark cherry and plum flavour, with lingering notes of smoke and black pepper. Simply, the perfect glass to enjoy any time on its own or with tasty sausages.
