Red produced from poor clarets (7)

I believe the answer is:

scarlet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'red' is the definition.
(I know that red can be written as scarlet)

'poor clarets' is the wordplay.
'poor' is an anagram indicator.
'clarets' with letters rearranged gives 'SCARLET'.

'produced from' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scarlet that I've seen before include "Cartels (anag.)" , "Red colour of clarets" , "Bright red of clarets" , "Let cars be this colour" , "immoral" .)
