Organic Merlot Wines

What Makes Organic Merlot Different

Organic Merlot differs from conventional Merlot in how the grapes are grown and the wine is made. In organic vineyards:

• Synthetic pesticides, herbicides and GMOs are avoided

• Soil health and biodiversity are nurtured

• Sustainable farming practices encourage natural balance

• Winemaking aims for clean, expressive fruit character

The result is a Merlot that not only tastes great, but also supports environmentally friendly farming and clearer terroir expression.

Flavour Profile of Organic Merlot Wines

Organic Merlot wines typically show:

• Plum and dark cherry

• Blackberry and raspberry

• Soft spice and gentle oak

• Smooth, rounded tannins

• Balanced acidity and lingering finish

These wines are typically medium to full-bodied, with plush fruit and easy drinkability. Organic Merlot often exhibits purity of fruit with subtle earthy or herbal undertones that enhance complexity without heaviness.

Why Choose Organic Merlot

There are several reasons wine lovers choose organic Merlot:

• • Cleaner flavour expression

  • Sustainable farming practices

  • No unnecessary chemical additives

  • Greater focus on terroir and natural balance

  • Enjoyable flexibility with food pairings

Organic Merlot wines offer both flavour and values that matter to many modern wine drinkers.

Food Pairing with Organic Merlot

Organic Merlot pairs beautifully with a range of dishes due to its balanced acidity and fruit drive. Great pairings include:

• Grilled lamb or roast beef

• BBQ pork or sausages

• Tomato-based pastas

• Mushroom-based casseroles

• Cheese boards with medium-aged cheeses

Serve organic Merlot slightly below room temperature (about 15–18°C) to allow the aromas and complex fruit flavours to fully express when poured.
