Nov. 7 – International Merlot Day
- Merlot is often called the “gateway wine” because of its approachable and easy-drinking nature. Its milder tannins and smoother, fruit-forward flavors make it a popular choice for people who are new to red wine or are transitioning from white wines to reds. It’s a great starting point for those exploring the world of red wine, and it often paves the way for wine enthusiasts to appreciate bolder and more complex red varietals.
Nov. 12 – International Tempranillo Day
- Tempranillo, native to Spain and Portugal, is known for its thick skin, which is rich in color and tannins. This thick skin not only gives the wine its deep color but also makes it particularly resistant to certain vineyard pests and diseases. The name “Tempranillo” is derived from the Spanish word “temprano,” which means “early.” This is a reference to the grape’s early ripening which, along with its thick skin, allows it to be harvested before any vineyard pests and diseases become problematic. So, in addition to producing delicious wines, Tempranillo is also quite resilient in the vineyard!
Nov 24 – International Carménère Day
- Carménère is often referred to as the “Lost Grape of Bordeaux.” In the 18th century, Carménère was widely planted in the Bordeaux region however, when phylloxera, a grapevine pest, devastated European vineyards in the 19th century, many Carménère vines were thought to have been destroyed or replaced with other grape varieties.Surprisingly, it wasn’t until the 1990s that Carménère was rediscovered in Chile, where it had been mistakenly identified as Merlot for over a century. This rediscovery led to Carménère being considered a signature grape of Chile and key to the Chilean wine industry. Today, it is known for its unique and distinctive flavours, with notes of dark fruit and green pepper, making it a smooth red wine and a fascinating and important part of Chilean winemaking.
- WIne Kitz Brantford has varieties of Merlot, Tempranillo, and Carménère available, from 4 week wine kits for everyday drinking to 8 week wine kits suitable for aging and special occasions. Contact us or drop by for more information on what’s in stock now, and what is available to order.
