The Capture 05 - Curico Merlot 2019
About the wine
An outrageously plush Chilean Merlot you can rely on
- Our Angels left us in a bit of a pickle after drinking us dry of our most popular wines during lockdown. So we opened our little black book of wine contacts to capture some quality wines from around the world without a home.
- This stonking Chilean Merlot comes from 25 year old vines, high on the slopes of a family owned estate where that long hot days and cool nights make for the perfect conditions for Merlot. Needless to say our hopes were lived out when we tasted the wine.
- This wine is dark and fleshy with ripe, succulent plums, hints of spice and a wonderfully long, velvet-like finish. The grapes have been hand picked at the crack of dawn to make sure than not an ounce of the freshness, juiciness is wasted.
Best before
Drink now to 2023.
Serving advice
Open/decant 15+ mins before serving at room temperature.
Food match
Roast lamb or even a slow roast shoulder cooked North African style would be amazing. For the non-meat eaters, a vegetable tagine would be delish!
Contains sulphites
