Merry Edwards Description
The Merry Edwards Sauvignon Blanc enchants your senses with a harmonious blend of lively citrus and alluring tropical fruit aromas. A captivating bouquet of lime sherbet, makrut lime leaf, lemon curd, and orange blossom welcomes you, leading to a rich, creamy palate bursting with flavors of white peaches, lime zest, delicate white pineapple, and ripe stone fruit. This sumptuous white wine features a fleshy, succulent frame that carries notes of nectarine and ripe Crenshaw melon, culminating in a seamless finish adorned with ruby red grapefruit, white blossoms, and citrus flowers.
Merry Edwards' winemaker, Heidi von der Mehden, masterfully combines two-thirds Shenandoah (Clone 1) and one-third Sauvignon Musqué to create a wine overflowing with floral and tropical fruit aromatics, backed by a citrusy, juicy core. Barrel fermentation and twice-weekly lees stirring impart the characteristic creamy texture and rich body that fans of Merry Edwards Sauvignon Blanc have come to adore. Grapes are hand-picked and hand-sorted in the field before undergoing whole cluster pressing. The wine is then aged sur lie for 4 months, with 18% in new French oak, and batonnage performed twice per week.
The vibrant and floral character of Merry Edwards Sauvignon Blanc makes it an exceptional match for seafood and Asian-spiced dishes. We recommend pairing this delightful wine with a Crabmeat Mango Salad, as the refreshing acidity and lively citrus notes beautifully complement the sweet, succulent crab and the tropical essence of mango. This harmonious combination is sure to impress and excite your taste buds, creating an unforgettable dining experience.
