This exceptional site benefits from morning sun and afternoon shade, producing fruit with great flavour intensity and firm, age-worthy tannins.
On the nose, layers of plum, blackberry, cedar, and mocha unfold with nuance and precision. On the palate, power and elegance intertwine — a hallmark of this noble varietal at its best. Structured yet graceful, this wine will continue to evolve beautifully for the next decade or more.
Hotter growing season, more new world styled
Cooler growing season, old school styled
Celebrate two decades of craftsmanship with this rare opportunity to own Équinoxe Merlot at its original release price.
Allegretto, named after a medium, playful musical tempo, is a very special single-vineyard wine we call a true Merlot. The vines are planted on their own rootstock (pie franco) in soils of pure white silica sand — this rare site delivers a level of transparency, elegance, and trueness of flavour seldom found elsewhere. A medium-bodied Merlot from a warm microclimate within a cool macroclimate, Allegretto balances New World generosity with Old World restraint. Expect a melange of red and black fruits, raw cacao nibs, wild desert herbs, and delicate earthy notes, all wrapped in mostly integrated tannins with just a touch of edge.

Allegretto has always been a wine for collectors and Merlot lovers alike — and at $49.99, this is a rare chance to secure bottles from two outstanding vintages at a special rollback price.
