About This Brand
Introduced in 2006, La Merced represents the pinnacle of the Las MarÃas brand portfolio. Each variety — De Campo, Barbacuá, and De Monte — is sourced from a specific terroir within the Las MarÃas estates in Corrientes province, delivering distinctive flavor profiles that mirror the single-origin movement in coffee and wine. De Campo comes from open plantation fields with a balanced, herbaceous taste. Barbacuá is smoke-dried using traditional wood-fired methods for a toasted, complex character. De Monte is harvested from native forest shade-grown plants with a deep, earthy profile. La Merced holds IFS Food and ISO 22000 certifications and is exported to specialty channels in over 20 countries.
