Atamisque Catalpa Merlot is a rich, velvety red from Argentina’s cool-climate Uco Valley – and proof that Merlot, when treated with care, can be seriously classy stuff. This is smooth, generous and full of ripe black fruit, but with a freshness and finesse you don’t always find at this price.
You’ll find flavours of black cherry, damson and cassis, with subtle notes of cocoa, tobacco leaf and sweet spice from 12 months in French oak. The texture is silky, the tannins polished, and there’s a lovely lift on the finish that keeps you coming back for more.
A brilliant option for lovers of plush, full-bodied reds that still manage to stay elegant.

“I love this wine. It’s Merlot with backbone – rich, smooth, and balanced. The oak is perfectly judged, and the freshness you get from the Uco Valley really shines through. A total gem.”
