Wines made from Merlot grapes of Serra do Sudeste
Discover the best wines made with Merlot as a single variety or as a blend of Serra do Sudeste.
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.
Emerging region of southern Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil), rolling hills at 200-400 m on granite and schist soils, marked diurnal temperature range. Cabernet Sauvignon is the signature red: structured and fresh with blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, pepper and an herbal touch, firm tannins and acidity preserved by altitude. Supple Merlot, dense Tempranillo, Touriga Nacional and robust Tannat complement. Taut Chardonnay and lively Sauvignon Blanc in whites.
