The Grapes
Merlot
Red grape
Merlot — One of the world's most planted red grapes, native to Bordeaux and the primary variety in Saint-Émilion and Pomerol
Riesling
White grape
Riesling — Germany's greatest white grape, capable of producing wines from bone-dry to nobly sweet that age for decades. Its hallmark is extraordinary.
