What are the most representative grape varieties in Brazil and what are their characteristics?

The representative red grape variety in Brazil is Merlot, and the white grape variety is Chardonnay. There is no such thing as a Brazilian variety. Because their grape cultivation began with Portuguese immigrants. Although the most successful later was the Italians. Wine grapes were successfully planted and commercialized in the Gaucho Valley area of Nanda River State in southern Brazil. So moscato in Brazil is also very distinctive.
