Mersel Elevate Merwah Direct Press, pure indigenous Merwah from Dimane at 1,900 metres, cold pressed and raised six months in Georgian qvevri, pale gold with white flowers, green apple, lemon peel and wet stone, unfiltered and unfined.
Tasting Notes
Pale gold with a slight haze. Subtle notes of white flowers, green apple, zesty lemon peel and wet stone. Light to medium bodied with crisp acidity and mineral energy, showing citrus, orchard fruit and saline undertones behind a clean, lingering finish. This is Merwah pressed directly rather than macerated on skins, so it shows the grape at its most precise. Six months in qvevri adds texture without covering the fruit, and the wine is bottled after a year, unfiltered and unfined.
