Where Merlot grows
Merlot: Warm-climate example; typically 2,500–3,500 growing degree days on the °F scale, equivalent to about 1,390–1,940 °C-days accumulated above a 10°C base.
Heat bands use Oregon State University Extension. The OIV climate method treats growing-season temperature as accumulated heat above 10°C, not a fixed daily target.
