MORE INFORMATION:
Merwida’s premium white wine offering presents a very light-gold color. On the nose, it reveals delicate aromas of oak spice, subtle vanilla pod, apricot, white pear, and a touch of orange citrus peel. The palate is elegant, featuring a soft, creamy mouthfeel with pleasing viscosity. It is linear and focused, emphasizing fruit purity with a harmonious balance between oak and fruit where the oak adds depth and structure without overpowering the fruit aspect. Flavors of stone fruits, peaches, orange marmalade, green apple, and winter melon are nuanced and layered, and lingers on the aftertaste. Not overly rich or ripe, this wine is intricately layered and will reward with time, revealing its true character with the right food accompaniment.

Grilled pork chops with a light mustard sauce, or a crispy pork belly.
