Merlot Grape Plant

Merlot Grape Vine Merlot is one of the world’s most popular wine grape varieties, prized for its soft tannins, lush flavor, and versatility in red wine production. The medium-sized, blue-black grapes ripen mid to late season and are perfect for producing smooth, fruit-forward wines with notes of plum, blackberry, and herbs. This variety prefers full sun and well-drained soil, and it grows best in regions with long, warm summers. Merlot vines are moderately vigorous and require regular pruning and training to ensure optimal fruit development and airflow. 🍷 Top-tier red wine grape for home winemakers 🍇 Medium-sized, blue-black grapes with rich flavor ☀️ Prefers full sun and warm climates ✂️ Requires support and annual pruning 🌿 Ideal for vineyard-style growing Growing Zones: 6–9 outdoors Mature Height: 12–20 ft.
