Taste guide: Easy drinking, medium bodied, smooth and unoaked. A sumptuous Merlot with notes of cherry, plum and dark chocolate. Although unoaked in production there are hints of oak alongside that delicious cherry. Food match: It is a great accompaniment to stews, rich pasta dishes or we enjoyed it with homemade beef burgers!

Since its inception in 1583, the people of the town of Maipo have shown deep religiosity, focusing their social life around the town's church. Every year on the 8th of December the villagers have a celebration to honour the Virgin Mary, praying to her for their land and future harvests.
