تعريف ومعنى "merlot"

What is "merlot"?

Merlot is a red wine grape variety that is popular around the world. It is known for producing wines that are soft, smooth, and easy to drink, with low tannins and a fruity flavor profile. Merlot wines are typically medium-bodied and are often described as having flavors of blackberry, plum, and cherry, with hints of chocolate and vanilla. They are often used as blending partners with other varietals in Bordeaux-style blends, but can also be found as a single varietal wine. Merlot is grown in many wine regions around the world, including France, Italy, California, Chile, and Australia, among others. When aged in oak barrels, merlot can take on additional flavors of toast, smoke, and spices.
