Discover the best wines made with Merlot as a single variety or as a blend of Paraná.
Round and fleshy reds with a velvety texture, showing aromas of ripe plum, black cherry, cocoa and truffle notes with age. Supple tannins, generous alcohol, indulgent finish. Pillar of Libournais (Pomerol with Pétrus, Saint-Émilion with Cheval Blanc and Ausone) and signature of Super Tuscans, Italian Wales and Washington State. A cross of Cabernet Franc × Magdeleine Noire, France's most planted red variety.
Southern Brazilian state, dominated by table grape hybrids and Vitis labrusca (~1,000 ha), subtropical humid climate with two annual cycles. Niagara Rosada is the signature labrusca white king (~45%, favourite table grape): aromatic with characteristic "foxy" taste, raspberry, English candy and flowers. Group Italia (~55%) as complement, soft Bordô (Ives) in red. Small Italo-descendant family producers, sweet and convivial subsistence wines.
