The grape

Merlot

Best known in Bordeaux, Italy, Chile

Soft, round and approachable. Plum, black cherry and chocolate, with gentle tannins and a plush texture. It leads the blends of Bordeaux's Right Bank, including Pomerol and Saint-Émilion, and makes generous, easy-drinking reds all over the world.

Where it's from

Central Valley

Chile

Chile's vast wine heartland, stretching south from Santiago and taking in the Maipo, Rapel, Curicó and Maule valleys. Plenty of sun, reliable conditions and cooling Andean air make generous, fruit-forward Cabernet, Merlot, Carmenère and Sauvignon Blanc. Dependable, great-value wines for everyday drinking.
