CARTA VIEJA MERLOT 2024

Valle del Maule stretches across Chile's largest wine region, a vast, rain-fed interior valley where volcanic and granitic soils and a wide diurnal temperature range preserve freshness in red varieties — and that's where Carta Vieja, the Del Pedregal family's label dating to 1825, sources this canned Merlot. Fermented in temperature-controlled tanks to retain fruit character, it delivers plum, red cherry, and a touch of dark chocolate, with soft tannins and a clean, easy finish. The can format keeps it practical for outdoor drinking without sacrificing the varietal's approachable structure.
