Collection: Merlot

Merlot is a popular red grape variety known for producing smooth, medium-bodied wines with soft tannins and rich fruit flavors. While Merlot comes in a range of styles from light to heavy, it is predominantly made in medium to full bodied styles with medium plus tannins and riper fruit flavors.

It is widely cultivated around the world and is often used both as a single varietal wine and as a blending component, particularly in Bordeaux blends. Merlot's approachable nature, moderate tannins, and versatile flavor profile make it a popular choice for pairing with a wide range of foods, including roasted meats, pasta dishes, and cheeses. Its moderate tannins and lush fruit flavors pair well with a range of dishes, from grilled meats like steak and lamb to hearty pasta dishes such as lasagna or spaghetti Bolognese. Additionally, Merlot's versatility extends to cheese pairings, where it complements both soft cheeses like brie and aged varieties like cheddar or gouda. Whether you're enjoying a casual weeknight meal or a special dinner, Merlot's food-friendly character ensures a delightful pairing experience.
