The organic vineyards in San Antonio Valley, Chile have thin rocky and clay soils. Harvested by hand, the grapes undergo fermentation in stainless steel to preserve their bright fruit character. The wine is then aged in stainless steel for eight months producing clean, focused fruit aromas and flavours. This wine is a light greenish yellow in colour with mineral and citrus on the nose alongside subtle tropical aromas. It has lively acidity and citrus flavours of grapefruit, and clementine and it also displays a note of green chili and white pepper that adds complexity. Try this wine with seafood or as an aperitif.

The Wairau Valley in the region of Marlborough is one of the sunniest and driest in New Zealand. A rare combina- tion of long, dry summers, bright sun and cool, clear nights provides perfect conditions for growing ripe, intense- ly-flavored fruit. This wine offers restrained mineral and stone fruit characters with accentuated grapefruit aromatics. It is balanced with elegance and texture. This wine will complement most of your favourite Asian dishes.

Merlot is certainly one of the most widespread vine in the wine world. It is suitable for many types of soils and climates. In the light soils of Friuli, it acquires aromatic fruitiness. This wine is intense red in colour with herbaceous scents, aromas of cherry with an excellent balance between acidity and softness.
