Nk'Mip Cellars Mer'r'iym White Meritage 2017

Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaMer'r'iym White has to be one of the best Canadian white wines I tasted this year, and it was equally acknowledged at the National Wine Awards of Canada too. The blend is 62/33 sauvignon blanc / semillon, and it's as bright and fresh as they come. The attack has a beautiful floral, herbal quality with bright acidity and crispness balanced by a long, creamy, luxurious texture. The semillon is barrel-fermented in new oak, but this merely tempers the electric sauvignon fruit that gives this wine its life. You can age this, but frankly, I'm tempted to drink it now while it is fresh and delicious.Tasted: 21 November 2019Tasted by: Prices:
