Savor a Balanced Flavor Profile of Quereu Merlot
Quereu Merlot pours a deep ruby-red with violet hues, offering intense aromas of red and black fruits—think cherries, mulberries, and blackberries—blended with subtle spice and tobacco notes. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied with a 13% ABV, delivering a refined balance of lively acidity, mature tannins, and a fresh, fruity finish that lingers delightfully. Its soft mouthfeel and good acidity make it approachable yet structured. Serve at 16-18°C, ideally in a medium-sized glass, to enhance its expressive fruit, perfect for Nairobi’s warm evenings. Vivino users praise its “fruity, fresh” profile, rating it 3.4 on average.
Pairings to Elevate Your Meals
This Merlot’s versatility shines with a range of dishes. Pair it with red meats like beef or venison, or white meats like chicken, to complement its fruit and spice. It also harmonizes with fatty fish like salmon, enhancing its subtle tobacco notes. In Nairobi, enjoy it with nyama choma or creamy mushroom pasta for a local twist. For cheese lovers, try it with brie or gouda. Hosting a barbecue or intimate dinner? This wine’s easy-drinking style impresses.

Crafted in Chile’s Central Valley
Fox Wines sources Quereu Merlot grapes from the Central Valley, a 400km stretch from Maipo to Maule, known for its alluvial soils and ideal climate between the Andes and Coastal Range. Hand-harvested grapes undergo a 48-hour cold maceration to enhance aromas, followed by an 8-day fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 25-28°C with selected yeasts. A 4-7 day post-fermentation maceration adds complexity and structure. The wine is lightly filtered and bottled to preserve freshness, avoiding oak to emphasize its fruit-driven character. This meticulous process, detailed by Videiras do Mundo, ensures a vibrant, everyday wine with top vintages like 2016 and 2018 ranking highly.
