Product description
Familia Schroeder S Merlot is a carefully crafted Patagonian red wine that reflects the character of the cooler-climate vineyards of southern Argentina. Here, the Merlot grape shows a particularly fruity yet elegant side, clearly distinguishing it from wines made in warmer regions.
In the glass, the wine displays a deep ruby-red colour. On the nose, intense red berry aromas – cherry, blueberry and red plum – dominate, supported by delicate spicy and lightly herbal notes. On the palate it is medium-bodied, with soft, silky tannins and well-integrated acidity that brings freshness and makes the wine very approachable.
Flavour profile and style
On the palate this Merlot is round, harmonious and easy to appreciate, with ripe fruit at the forefront. Alongside the red fruit flavours, subtle spicy tones and gentle, elegant oak notes may appear, adding depth and complexity. The finish is medium in length, clean and marked by a fresh, fruity character.
Serving suggestions
This Merlot is highly versatile at the table and pairs well with a wide range of dishes, especially:
- grilled or roasted red and white meats,
- pasta dishes with tomato-based or creamy sauces,
- semi-hard and hard cheeses with medium maturity.
The recommended serving temperature is 16–18 °C, allowing the wine’s fruity and spicy notes to shine while preserving its silky texture. Before serving, a short period of aeration can help the aromas to fully open up.
Occasions and experience
Familia Schroeder S Merlot is an excellent choice for weeknight dinners, casual get-togethers with friends or relaxed family occasions when you want a well-balanced, easy-drinking red wine. Its elegant yet understated style also makes it a great introduction to Patagonian wines for those just discovering Argentine Merlot. It offers a reliable, harmonious wine experience that highlights pure fruit and refined spiciness.
