About Meritage: Meritage (pronounced like heritage) first appeared in the late 1980s after a group of American vintners joined forces to create a name for New World wines blended in the tradition of Bordeaux. Meritage combines “merit,” reflecting the quality of the grapes, with “heritage,” which recognizes the centuries-old tradition of blending, long considered to be the highest form of the winemaker’s art.
A Red Meritage is a blend of two or more of the red “noble” Bordeaux varieties – Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot, Petit Verdot and St. Macaire, Gros Verdot and Carmenère. To qualify as a White Meritage, a wine must be a blend of at least two of three specific white “noble” varieties – Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon or Muscadelle du Bordelais. The wine does not qualify as a Meritage if the blend includes any other grape varieties. Also, to qualify as a Meritage, no single grape variety can make up more than 90% of the blend.
