MERLOT BLUSH 2023 (White)

From Tottori Prefecture, UTSUROGI winery presents MERLOT BLUSH 2023, an exceptionally rare dry white wine, with only 103 bottles produced. This unique creation is crafted from Merlot grapes, typically used for red wine, by destemming them and exclusively using the precious free-run juice that naturally flows from the crushed fruit, vinified in a white wine style.

This medium-bodied bottle, which gains new fans every year, offers a distinct blush-style flavor profile, completely different from red Merlot. It boasts a rich aroma of ripe fruits like honey and apricot, with dense fruit flavors and fresh acidity that tighten the overall profile, creating a satisfying drinking experience.

With an alcohol content of 12 percent, this wine can be enjoyed on its own, or it is recommended to pair it with Italian and French cuisine, as well as fruit pizzas and desserts, offering a new option for your dinner table tonight.
