  • THE BLACK BIRD

    Merlot comes from the word Merle. Merle in French means black bird. The origins are not specific to why they called the grape Merle but it is believed that the workers in the vineyards called the grape Merle because it is a very dark grape (close to black) and it was the same colour as the feathers of the black bird.
