Grape's are not only a wonderful and tasty fruit, but are also the key ingredient in the production of wine. A liquor that has been around for more than six-thousand years, and still manages to survive the test of time. The production of wine is a long and complicated process that could potentially be drawn out over the course of months or years. This process however, shadows in comparison to the sheer variety and availability of thousands of types of grape's and their hybrids for use in making wine.
In this group, grapes such as Muscadine (Scuppernong), Fox and Frost grape are categorized. Grapes in this group are extremely sharp tasting due to their high acid content. These grapes also have a strong pungent flavor and aroma. Being lower in sugar than other grapes, this class can also be distinguished from others by the fact they grow as separate berries, not in clusters as most grapes do.
Even though there are many types of grapes, most can basically be classified as one of three subtypes. These subtypes are Native Wild Grape, Native Wine Grape, and last but certainly not least, European Wine Grapes. The distinguishing features that put these various groups apart from one another is there sweetness, aroma, general taste, as well as acidity level. All of which play a key role in the final bottle of wine which sits atop our dinner tables.
Merlot, is a grape that ripes very early in the season compared to most other grapes. Also one of the more prevalent brands of wine, it is known for being able to produce several different tastes. Of those include cherry, honey, and occasionally mint depending on the length of growing and fermentation.
There are also very, very few wines which are ever produced from this group that ever have to sharp, or acidic of a flavor for the general connoisseur.
