VK Merlot

The geography of this once regal planet was the envy of the galaxy, dominated by mountain ranges that were intertwined with large oceans and wild grasslands. Applying this geography to our own world, the wines would probably be very similar to the wine regions that dot the Alps.

White wines would mimic those of Trentino Alto Adige, such as the steely fragrant Terlaner and the off dry leechee tinge of Gewürztraminer and even the Rieslings of the Rheinhessen region in Germany.

For reds I could see more obscure wines being made, such as the inky high acid Lagrein from Alto Adige or the deep and soulful Austrian Blaufränkisch – though at this point Blaufränkisch isn’t so obscure.
