About this wine

Silky Chilean Charm in Every Glass

Rio Roca Merlot is your go-to for effortless red wine pleasure. Soft, fruit-forward and easy to enjoy, it pours a deep ruby colour with ripe notes of plum, black cherry and a gentle hint of spice. The texture is smooth and supple, making it ideal for midweek meals or laid-back gatherings.

Whether you're unwinding after a long day or hosting a casual dinner, this Chilean Merlot offers reliable comfort in the glass. Pair it with roasted vegetables, grilled meats or your favourite pizza for a relaxed and satisfying moment.

About the producer

Rio Roca is a Chilean wine brand drawing on the pure, fruit-driven character of Chile's Central Valley for its approachable everyday range. Their Merlot, Rosé, and Sauvignon Blanc each reflect the clean, fresh fruit expression that Chile's diverse microclimates — shaped by the Andes to the east and the Pacific to the west — deliver with remarkable consistency. Well-crafted wines for any occasion.

Guilty Pleasure is Bliss

I had a glass of this at a local, out of the way Pub.....wow
We set about finding a stockist.
How can this not be more widely available?
Our friend manages another Pub Restaurant but the owner won't obtain my fix.
Thanks to you l can stay home and enjoy a goblet of shear bliss in my bathtub, in the garden.. .and l don't have e to share a drop.
My new guilty pleasure just in time for my Birthday 🎈 on 28th Feb

Hi Pam, What a fantastic review—thank you! We love that you went on a mission to track down Rio Roca Merlot after that first glass. Rio Roca wines aren’t widely available and certainly not in any supermarket, so you know you’re drinking the good stuff.

Enjoy every blissful sip, whether in the bath or the garden (and absolutely no judgement for keeping it all to yourself!). And with your birthday just around the corner—cheers to celebrating in style!

When need another bottle or case, you know where to find us.
