White Meritage
White Meritage wines, while rare, are some of the most elegant
and exquisite white wines crafted. The perfect accompaniment to
seafood and poultry, White Meritage is a very food-friendly wine,
but also is superb just on its own. Unlike many white wines, White
Meritage is perfect for cellaring - growing more complex with
age.
To qualify as a White Meritage, a wine must be a blend of at
least two of three specific white "noble" varieties - Sauvignon
Blanc, Semillon or Muscadelle du Bordelais. No single variety can
make up more than 90% of the blend. The wine does
not qualify as a Meritage if the blend includes
any other grape variety.
