The Wine
Escarlata Red Wine / SRP: $12.00
Escarlata Red Blend comes from vineyards in the rolling hills of Marchigüe, where the ocean breeze helps moderate the temperatures and favors a low yield of concentrated and aromatic grapes. The name Escarlata comes from the Spanish word for “scarlet”and was inspired by the wine’s deep, brilliant red hue. Escarlata is a blend of 35% Cabernet Franc, 30% Malbec, 20% Petit Verdot, and 15% Syrah, from grapes grown in the prestigious Colchagua Valley. It displays vibrant fresh fruit with just a light touch of oak to add depth and complexity. It has chocolate and red fruit aromas, with soft and sweet tannins.
Escarlata Chardonnay / SRP: $12.00
Escarlata Chardonnay comes from vineyards in the rolling hills of the Coastal Mountains of Maule, where ocean breezes help produce especially fresh fruit. Escarlata Chardonnay is unoaked, which allows it to maintain a purity and crisp refreshment that often eludes many other affordable Chardonnays. The wine has aromas and flavors of tropical yellow fruits and grapefruit interspersed with hints of hazelnuts and almonds. On the palate it presents abundant fruit flavors that are highlighted by a pleasant freshness. Only 13% alcohol.
Escarlata Pinot Noir / SRP: $12.00
Escarlata Pinot Noir comes from vineyards at the foot of the Andes in the Maule Valley where moderate temperatures allow the grapes to experience a slow
maturation and develop a nice range of aromas. Escarlata Pinot Noir captures the essence of an approachable and delicious Pinot Noir, with lively red fruit that is both quenching and satisfying. The wine is a violet red color, with rich fruit notes of cherry, raspberry, and strawberry. In the mouth sweet fruit notes stand out, and its soft and fine tannins give it great texture. 100% Pinot Noir.
