Casa Montante

Our Casa Montante Merlot is here to steal the spotlight with rich dark fruit joined by layers of toasty oak elements and spice. When most people think of Mendoza, their mind immediately jumps to Malbec. While it's true that Malbec is the most prominent pillar of Argentinian winemaking, Merlot stands proudly alongside it. This French grape journeyed to South America in the 1900s and has since become a local favorite, showing up in ripe, fruit-focused varietal wines and blends. Merlot is fond of high-altitude living in the vineyards of Mendoza, where sunny days and brisk nights emphasize its ripe fruit flavors without losing its freshness. This wine is an excellent choice for those who love to see classic grape varieties thriving in unexpected places. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.
