Although many most closely associate Shiraz with Australian red wine, the country also produces some outstanding Merlot.
While Merlot sales have taken a dive in recent years, and many associate Australia with cheap bulk wine production, both of these assumptions leave wine drinkers missing out on some of the best the wine world has to offer!
Due to Merlot's versatility, easy drinkability and favorable blending properties, many Australian winemakers use the grape in blends. Most of these Bordeaux style Merlot-based blends come from the Margaret River area of Western Australia.
Most quality single varietal Merlots come from Australia's cooler climate regions in South Australia such as Coonawarra, Clare Valley, and the McLaren Vale.
Because Merlot is an early ripening red grape, it has proven popular with producers wishing to diversify. It boasts earthy notes and develops distinctive berry notes as it ripens, along with licorice and chocolate flavors.
Its smooth, easy drinking character and medium to bold flavor profile make Australian Merlot a natural pairing with a variety of foods, including red meat.
