Our beloved blending component for our red blends with its velvety tannins and intensely juicy, delicious red berry fruit. Merlot adds that little sexiness we all love and need sometimes.
Merlot is mostly known from Bordeaux where it rules the right bank from its castles in Saint Emilion and Pomerol, and it also contributes to blends in the rest of the region. It's found in many regions around the world and now also at BiniVista.
It's one of our earliest ripening varieties and with its tendency for high yields, it demands quite a bit of work in vineyards to keep the fruit-leaf ratio in balance to ensure top quality.
