About this wine

Château Vartely Merlot 0.25L is a dry red wine made from 100% Merlot grape.
Tasting Notes:
The wine has a deep ruby red color with mysterious hues. It offers a complex aroma of black currant, black cherry, raspberry, and dark chocolate. The taste is full-bodied, smooth, slightly astringent with silky tannins, and dominated by ripe fruit flavors.
Sommelier's advice:
This wine pairs well with dishes like Bolognese pasta, grilled mushrooms, red meat, smoked salmon, or spicy rice.
Vineyards:
The grapes are grown in the Valul lui Traian region, in southern Moldova, Bugeac area.
Winemaking process:
The Merlot is carefully selected from Château Vartely's vineyards in the Bugeac area of southern Moldova and vinified as a dry, fruit-driven red, here in a handy 0.25 L bottle. The winery stands on a hill near the town of Orhei and has become one of Moldova's best-known wine-tourism estates.
Interesting notes:
Château Vartely Merlot mini 0.25L is a great choice for those who want to enjoy wine without opening a large bottle. This mini version does not undergo oak barrel aging like the larger bottles but still retains the characteristic Merlot flavor and suitable for quick consumption.
Vinoteka's note
A quarter-bottle of Merlot from Château Vartely, the Moldovan estate near Orhei whose name means "place of the fortress" in Hungarian; the winery farms 300 hectares in the Codru and Bugeac zones. Full, rich and intense, with ripe black currant, cherry and blackberry and a note of dark chocolate over soft tannins. The producer pairs it with pasta Bolognese or grilled mushrooms. A handy single-serve size for a picnic or a hotel minibar.
