Merlot
Merlot, a plush and approachable red grape, thrives in Bordeaux, France, especially on the Right Bank in Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Here, it produces wines with rich plum, black cherry, and chocolate flavours, often with a smooth, velvety texture.
A global superstar, Californian Merlot showcases ripe fruit flavours, such as blackberry and blueberry, with hints of mocha and vanilla from oak aging while Chilean Merlot offers a more herbaceous profile, with fresh red fruit and a touch of spice, reflecting its diverse terroir.
