Cuvelier Los Andes Coleccion Merlot
The History
The Cuvelier Los Andes S.A. vineyard was planted in 1999 with a density of
5500 plants per hectare. Today the vineyard stretches over 55 hectares (136
acres) Vidth 10 hectares still to plant.
The main grape variety isMalbec. We have also planted Cabernet Sauvignon,
Merlot, Syrah and Petit Verdot. This enables us to create our own blended
Vidnes and also contribute to those of Clos de los Siete. Basking in the warm,
dry climate of Mendoza, cooled by the refreshing night air of the Andes, our
vines are ideally situated to express the character of their various grape varie¬
ties in this stony, alluvial gravel soil.

Tasting Notes
The 2010 Collecion Merlot offers up a fragrant perfume of oak, red
fruits, and a touch of herbs and balsamic. With excellent richness and
length, it offers outstanding value in a wine that is meant for drinking
over the next 5-7 years.
