Merlot – mouth-filling flatterer

Merlot is the most widely cultivated grape variety in the Bordelais region. It plays an important role in many famous Bordeaux red wines together with Cabernet Sauvignon or Cabernet Franc. Merlot gives the Bordeaux a full-bodied, rounded, berry flavour. There are often fleeting notes reminiscent of cherries, plums or even chocolate.

Merlot – first class even as a single variety

A Merlot that is cultivated according to all the rules of the game is just as impressive in a single-variety wine. The effect is soft and juicy, and it displays impressive harmony and elegance. When matured in barriques, its complexity and depth are accentuated. A masterpiece of this genre is the Núria of Catalonian Delinat wine producer, Josep Maria Albet i Noya. Núria has a pleasing finesse and southern charm. It can be found in our online offer.

Merlot and more

Delinat wine producers also like to use Merlot to round off a cuvée. This variety can polish corners and edges and give body and balance to a red cuvée. The Delinat range includes a large number of wines with higher or lower proportions of Merlot for you to choose from, such as the repeatedly prize-winning Delinat classic Vinya Laia, to name but one. They all come from wine producers who hold biodiversity close to their hearts.
