Grape Merlot

Merlot is a red variety of French origin, typical of the Medoc area, in the vicinity of Bordeaux. In fact, it is the grape variety that predominates in the Gironde department, whose capital is Bordeaux.

Merlot strains thrive in cold latitudes and do better in ferrous clay soils. It sprouts early, which makes it sensitive to frost.

It is not a very productive variety and is moderately vigorous. Its clusters are medium, with large, round berries, dark blue in color. The skin is less thick than Cabernet Sauvignon and its size is medium. It adapts well to all climates and soils, which is why it is widespread throughout the world.

Some studies indicate that the Merlot grape variety is a descendant of Cabernet Franc and sister to Carménere and Cabernet Sauvignon. The name comes from the Occitan word "merlot", short for blackbird. The colors of the plumage and that of the berry are very similar, in addition this bird would have a fondness for eating merlot grapes.
