Angélica Zapata Merlot Alta

Discover the elegance and complexity of Angélica Zapata Merlot, a wine that captivates with its violet-red color and ruby reflections. Its delicate nose reveals an explosion of aromas reminiscent of wild red fruits, complemented by soft spicy notes of black pepper and cloves from the La Pirámide vineyard. The Adrianna grapes add layers of ripe red and black fruits, such as cassis and currants, creating an irresistibly aromatic bouquet.

The aging in French oak barrels imparts subtle notes of vanilla and spices, transforming each sip into a pleasurable experience. On the palate, this Merlot delivers a sweet impact and a medium body, perfectly balanced with its acidity. The tannins are soft and rounded, resulting in a long and pleasant finish.

Angélica Zapata Merlot is the ideal companion for a variety of elaborate dishes from the United States. It pairs beautifully with pesto pasta, where the herbal notes of the sauce enhance the wine’s fruitiness. It also shines alongside gourmet burgers, as the flavors of the meat complement the wine’s smooth tannins. For a more sophisticated pairing, enjoy it with herb-roasted lamb, which accentuates the wine’s spicy notes.
