{"product_id":"otronia-rugiente-45-merlot-argentine","title":"Otronia - Rugiente 45 Merlot - 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eLocated in the far south of Patagonia, the Otronia vineyard stretches along the shores of the vast Lake Musters, in the heart of the Sarmiento Desert, in the province of Chubut. Planted at a latitude close to the 45th parallel south, the vines benefit from a cold, windy, and very dry climate, with significant temperature variations that promote slow and even ripening of the grapes. The soils, composed of gravel, sand, and limestone deposits, give the Merlot a precise, fresh, and elegant expression, marked by a unique Patagonian identity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Merlot grapes are harvested at perfect ripeness from the coolest plots on the estate, then carefully sorted before being fully destemmed. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in tanks under strict temperature control, with gentle extractions to preserve the elegance of the fruit and the finesse of the tannins. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels, where it gains aromatic complexity and structure, while retaining the freshness and tension characteristic of this extreme southern terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eripe red fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003eblack plum\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003echerry\u003c\/strong\u003e , complemented by floral touches of \u003cstrong\u003eviolet\u003c\/strong\u003e and spicy nuances of \u003cstrong\u003epepper\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eclove\u003c\/strong\u003e .
