November 7 – International Merlot Day!

Vive le Merlot!

Did you know that Merlot has its very own international day? Celebrated on November 7, it's a perfect excuse to raise a glass – and at Hidden Giraffe, we have a special reason to celebrate!

Merlot is one of the world's most widely planted and best-loved red grape varieties. Originally from Bordeaux, France, it has found a home in wine regions across the globe.

Known for its smooth texture, fruity character, and velvety tannins, Merlot often offers flavours of plums, cherries, and blackberries, sometimes with hints of chocolate or spice.

So why are we celebrating at Hidden Giraffe?

Because a new Portuguese Merlot has just arrived!

Filipe Palhoça Merlot comes from the Península de Setúbal wine region, south of Lisbon. It's a wonderful opportunity to explore a familiar French grape variety with a Portuguese twist.

Whether you're already a Merlot lover or simply curious to try something different, we'd love to share a glass with you.

Just arrived. Come and taste it!
