The Patriots Merlot 2018

The Patriots is the ultimate expression of the red that Chile does better than anywhere else – supple, easy drinking Merlot. Each year we search out a Merlot with the perfect combination of smooth texture and ripe berry flavours at a great price.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
The Wine
We travelled 10,000 miles and sampled 2,000 wines to find the original Patriots Merlot, named in honour of the founding fathers of Chilean independence. It sold out in weeks, proving there’s a legion of fans looking for the smoothest, juiciest and best value Chilean Merlot available. So every year our Buyer returns to Chile, seeking out a wine worthy of the name The Patriots. This year she found it at four-time ‘Winery of the Year’ LFE, owned by our old friend Luis Felipe Edwards. The 2018 has all the plummy richness Patriots fans have come to expect, with added depth of flavour, spice and savoury character courtesy of the deft hand of chief winemaker Nicolas Bizzarri. It’s an ideal red to enjoy as a glass solo or with meatballs or chicken.
