Red Merlot wine is made through maceration - the infusion of skins. The richness of the color depends on the length of the process. It is mostly used in blends as it lacks bright aromatics, has little acidity, and a light tartness. Merlot is ideal for strong, dense, and tart wines as a "softener." The wines of Moldova and Romania are excellent.

Red Merlot wine has a soft, light, mildly tart taste when young. Young drinks have light aromas of red berries like cherries, raspberries, and sometimes ripe plums. Aged in barrels, it takes on a vanilla and bread toast flavor. There are two main styles: "warm" and "cold." The warm style contains notes of plums, cherries, raspberries, blackberries, chocolate, and coffee. The cold style has lingonberry, cherry, and a little minerality added.

Red Merlot wine is suitable for lean meats, grilled meat, simple dishes, light snacks, vegetable salads, poultry dishes, grilled vegetables, and aged cheeses. It's also excellent with spicy dishes. Drinks are perfectly matched with dishes from the respective region. French and Italian dishes and products can be matched with Merlot. Serve it slightly chilled, up to 16°C. A Bordeaux style glass is best, with the bowl expanded at the bottom and narrowed at the top.

Red Merlot is the second most common grape variety in the world after Chardonnay. It is originally from the Bordeaux region of France and is cultivated in all wine-producing countries. Merlot gives good yields, but it is vulnerable to weather conditions and subject to stress, particularly drought. It ripens quickly and accumulates sugars sharply in the finale, resulting in high wine strength. It grows best in moderately hot climates, especially in coastal areas. Merlot is a key variety for Russia.
