Caliterra Reserva Merlot

General Information

Caliterra Reserva Merlot is an accessible red wine from the Colchagua Valley, one of Chile’s main wine regions. The wine is made from 100% Merlot, a grape that perfectly expresses its full, fruity character here.

The wine undergoes controlled fermentation in stainless steel, followed by partial aging in oak, which adds softness and a light spiciness without overshadowing the fruit. The style is modern, smooth, and perfectly drinkable.

Tasting Profile of Caliterra Reserva Merlot

The wine has a clear ruby red color. On the nose, aromas of ripe plums, black cherries, violets, and a hint of vanilla emerge.

On the palate, the wine is soft, round, and fruit-driven, with mild acidity, velvety tannins, and a warm, spicy note in the finish. A classic Merlot style with extra charm.

This Merlot is very suitable with:

• Pasta with tomato sauce or roasted vegetables
• Chicken or turkey dishes with Mediterranean herbs
• Pizza with mushrooms or salami
• Soft cheeses such as brie or camembert

Serve at 15–17°C. No decanting needed.
