Merlot
About this grape variety
Merlot is among those varieties that ripen somewhat late. It is grown in virtually all major wine-producing areas, including Valais.
It prefers vine parcels that are not too dry. Its ideal growing conditions are clay soils, often at the base of slopes.
It is a charming wine on its own but when blended with others the body and suaveness it offers are incomparable.
