Let's start by clearing the air over what a 'white meritage' is. For the record it is not the main 5 grapes found in a Bordeaux blend with no skin contact (where the red colour comes from); in fact a white meritage can only be made up from two grapes (the two white grapes of Bordeaux): Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. This version is an 80/20 split with Semillon seeing some old oak barrelling. Lots of Crisp clean flavours and smells here like tropical fruits, melon and some lovely rosemary and thyme (which I am told comes from the Semillon). Great mouth presence and a long finish, the wine actually coats the mouth with cheek sucking flavours so you can re-experience it long after you've swallowed it. Price: $23.95 - Rating: **** 1/2
