WE LOVE IT BECAUSE:
Silhouette is a limited production white wine worthy of a collector’s cellar. Since the first vintage in 1993, Merryvale has selected their very best Chardonnay lots for the Silhouette bottling. This wine is meticulously crafted using time honored old world techniques, the gentle native barrel fermentation allows for the full expression of the fruit, resulting in a wine that is elegantly balanced, refined, and complex.
This wine has notes of dried apricot, orange peel, white rose petal, elder flower, hints of chamomile, crushed oyster shell, with barrel notes reminiscent of dulce de leche. With fresh acidity, the wine is plush while maintaining a linear focus creating great length on the palate. An excellent food companion, the wine is also stunning on its own and will continue to evolve over the next 10+ years.
