Tesco, Finest Chilean Merlot, Colchagua Valley, Chile, 2019

A new listing for Tesco, this gorgeous Chilean Merlot offers incredible value for money. Made by Luis Felipe Edwards in the Colchagua Valley, the fruit is sourced mainly from vineyards on granitic soils in the coastal region, with cooler conditions ideally suited to quality Merlot. Fragrant and fleshy, this has some vanilla spice, with a richness of plummy fruit and a hint of sun dried tomato. A standout wine at this price, this will have widespread appeal.
