Merlot is a dark grape which is usually used to make red wine. Any dark grape can be used to make white wine by not letting the juice stand in the grapeskins as it is fermenting, but I don't know of any instance of Merlot grapes used to make white wine.

The fact is that every wine is different and that you can't really substitute one for another completely. But if you like white wine and would like to experiment with reds, Merlot is an excellent choice.
