Hacienda de Lluna Merlot 2018
Valencia DO
Who’d have thought that a nation famous for traditional old reds could produce one of the most vibrant, uplifting Merlots in our range? It is made by a dynamic young winemaker, at a cellar close to Valencia. Juicy, plummy and very moreish.

This is a juicy, youthful Merlot from Maria Angeles Camara, who also makes our popular, mature, oaky Palacio del Conde range of wines. Merlot is gaining ground in Spain as more people come to appreciate its irresistible red fruit charms. This one comes from elevated vineyards 30 miles inland from the bustling Mediterranean city of Valencia, where the great and good of Madrid head for sun, sea and fine local food and wine. This almost New World style of ripe Merlot is a great example of how Spain’s next generation of winemakers has made the country one of the most exciting destinations for wine exploration. Smooth enough to enjoy solo, and a great partner with all kinds of tapas dishes or with chicken, pasta with pesto or roasted vegetables.
