A brief on Merlot & its imported brands in India

5/7/2021

0 Comments

 
Merlot pronounced "Mer Low" is a crowd-pleaser, this red grape varietal make wines which are elegant and approachable and breaks ice with consumers instantly. The wines have moderate tannins and are known for their plum, prunes, fruit cake notes etc. depending on the region they come from. The grape is believed to take its name from the French 'Merle' meaning the blackbird.
Some important Merlot regions:
Best known for its  role in Bordeaux blends, Merlot has been planted for centuries in Bordeaux's cooler wine regions of Pomerol, St-Emilion and inland vineyards of Entre-Deux-Mers as it ripens early. Single varietal Merlot wines were not really appreciated until they reached the American shores. American, Californian hot climate Merlots are known for their smooth texture and plum cake aromas. Chilean Merlot coming from a relatively moderate climate is fruitier. There are examples of good quality Merlot in Italy, in the Veneto and notably in Tuscany where it has been blended for famous examples. Outside Europe, Merlot is yet to reach its glory. Better suited to the cool climate of New Zealand and other new world countries, it still has to ground to cover. 
​Merlot &  Food pairing:
Most Merlot expressions of the fruity and easy drinking kinds will pair with popular dishes like pizzas, pasta in tomato sauce, grilled chicken or a meaty fish like tuna, Mushroom risotto, young semi-hard or hard cheese with some fruit coulis etc. You can pair it with mildly spiced Indian dishes ranging from the classic Paneer tikka, dal vada, Amritsari macchi, Chicken malai seekh etc.
