Description
Azucar Merlot pours a deep garnet hue that hints at the generous fruit ripening under the South American sun. Sourced from estate vineyards in Chile’s fertile Central Valley, this 750-millilitre bottle captures the warmth of long days and cooling coastal breezes, translating them into a supple, crowd-pleasing red. The first swirl releases inviting aromas of blackberry jam, ripe plum, and a brush of vanilla bean from six months’ gentle oak aging. On the palate, silky tannins frame flavors of black cherry, cocoa powder, and baking spice, finishing with a whisper of sweet tobacco that lives up to the wine’s name—Azucar, “a touch of sugar,” though the wine remains balanced and dry.
Medium-bodied yet richly textured, this Merlot shines alongside weeknight staples like marinated skirt steak, mushroom risotto, or a simple burger fresh off the grill. Serve slightly below room temperature to emphasize its juicy fruit core and soft, velvety finish. Hosting friends? Add Long Island Wine & Spirit Merchant’s elegant wine gift box or a custom bottle engraving to turn this versatile red into a memorable present for birthdays, housewarmings, or corporate thank-yous.
