It is observed on November 7th each year and it's an invitation to embark on a sensory journey into the world of wine, a journey filled with soft, velvety textures and luscious flavors that will transport your taste buds to picturesque vineyards around the globe. Merlot is known for its soft and approachable character, making it a favorite among wine enthusiasts and a versatile grape used in various wine styles, from red blends to single-varietal wines.

The origins of International Merlot Day are not well-documented, but it likely began as a grassroots effort among wine lovers, wineries, and the wine industry to promote and appreciate Merlot wine. It's an occasion for wine producers and enthusiasts to come together to taste, discuss, and enjoy Merlot wines.

Merlot is often associated with Bordeaux, France, where it is one of the principal grape varieties used in Bordeaux blends, particularly in the right bank regions of Pomerol and Saint-Émilion. However, Merlot is also widely grown in many other wine regions around the world, including the United States, Italy, Chile, and more. Its flavors can vary depending on the climate, terroir, and winemaking techniques, but common characteristics include red fruit notes, soft tannins, and a velvety texture.

On International Merlot Day,  why not gather some friends or family, open a bottle of Merlot, and savor the moment? It's a great opportunity to explore the diversity of Merlot wines and appreciate this grape's contributions to the world of wine.

So, if you're a fan of Merlot or interested in learning more about this wine variety, International Merlot Day is a perfect occasion to celebrate and discover the many expressions of Merlot wines from around the globe
