Do you know it?
Our Gran Reserva line has recently been renamed GRAN. This has been a very important change within our vineyard because we want our image to express the reflection of what a great wine is – a high-quality wine crafted with exceptional grapes from our own vineyards.
At Viña Calyptra we are constantly innovating to give our consumers a wide range of options. That’s why today we have brought a new addition to our portfolio.
Gran Merlot 2019, a very special wine that we have been working on for a long time and today you can finally enjoy it.

Gran Merlot is a tremendous bet for our vineyard, a varietal we hadn’t worked with previously, but we’re confident it will give people a lot to talk about. The fortunate ones who have already tasted this wine have told us it’s the best Merlot they’ve tried in Chile, and we believe so too.
Made from grapes from our own vineyards, high up in the Cachapoal Valley, from a specific plot, our Merlot is hand-harvested in 12 kg boxes.
It undergoes 18 months of aging in 225-liter French oak barrels, where malolactic fermentation also takes place. Once aging is complete, we make the barrel selection that gives the best expression of our varietal, and it’s bottled with minimal invasive filtering, then rested in bottle for at least 12 months prior to commercialization.
At Calyptra Wines we continue working day by day with great effort to consolidate gastronomic wines that help enhance the enjoyment of a good meal.
