Merlot

This red grape with its soft, fruity, plummy and full-bodied aromas ranks third among the world's most popular red varieties. A good two thirds are grown in its French homeland. There, it is vinified on its own or lends blends full structure and early drinking readiness. Merlot is one of the six principal grape varieties permitted for Bordeaux wine production. It forms a particularly successful partnership with Cabernet Sauvignon. Blends of these two varieties promise full-bodied wines with soft structure and good ageing potential. Its name probably comes from a bird, the blackbird. The word 'merle', from which Merlot derives, means blackbird. This may suggest that these birds are particularly fond of stealing grapes from Merlot vines. Merlot makes no exceptional demands on site or climate, which may explain why, with 260,000 hectares worldwide, it is among the most widely planted wine grapes.

Dark fruit, elder leaves and smoked meat on the nose. Blueberry juice and creamy extract sweetness on the palate, juicy and very approachable.
