White Meritage

White Meritage Wine Details
Price:

Description: The Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon were barrel fermented separately and aged sur lie for 15 months. During the aging, batonnage was performed monthly. Batonnage is the stirring of the wine in the barrels to re-suspend the lees. This process adds creaminess and a rich, full mouthfeel to the wine. When both of the wines were ready, winemaker Sergio Traverso and Phil Wente made a final blend to achieve a perfect balance between the Sauvignon Blanc's crispness and the Semillon's creamier structure.
