Merlot is a red wine grape variety that is widely planted throughout the world, primarily in the cooler regions where the climate favours red wine grapes. Wine expert Jancis Robinson describes the Merlot grape as one of the most versatile in the world.
The grapes were first engineered in France more than a hundred years ago due to the desire for creating a variety of grape that would attain high sugar levels. A fruity and full-bodied wine, Merlot has a wide color range. But generally, it is a red wine, with a tint of purple to black. It shows aromas of fruits and spices. It’s full of character and not too loud, but it definitely makes its presence felt.
With a wide variety of flavors, it’s no surprise that Merlot is one of the most widely planted varieties in the world. Merlot is the second most popular red wine grape in the world, making it a must-have addition to any collection.
Merlot is a versatile wine that pairs well with just about any dish.
