A friend told me that she recently had a merlot that was a white wine, but she could not remember the brand. Does anyone know what it is? Thanks

Forest Glen makes one. Sorry, Barney Against Bigots, you are wrong. I just saw a commercial for their White Merlot on tv about 10 minutes ago, actually. White Merlot is made the same way as White Zinfandel and is a blush wine. While white wine is made without the skins from the grape and red wine is made with the skins, blush wine is made with the skins from the grape (in this case, the Merlot grape which is a specific variety) staying in contact with the juice for a shorter period of time, hours or days instead of for weeks as in red wine.

White Merlot is made the same way as its more famous cousin, White Zinfandel. The grapes are crushed, and after very brief or even no skin contact, the resulting pink must ferments. Some producers of White Merlot include Sutter Home, Forest Glen, and Beringer. It normally has a hint of raspberry. White Merlot was reputedly first marketed in the late 1990s.
In Switzerland, a type of White Merlot is made but is often considered more a rosé

Beringer makes a white merlot. It is the same concept as the white zinfandel. It is a blush wine made from a red wine grape varietal called merlot. The wine is left on the skins a short amount of time to pick up some color.

White Merlot is a blush wine, similar to White Zinfandale or White Grenache. Trinity Oaks and Forest Glen both make a white merlot.

Berangers makes a white Merlot and it is a very good dinner wine but if you want a good drinking wine for after dinner or just for pleasure look for a wine called miscoto their are a lot of different brands. It's also a white wine but is sweeter and is referred to as a desert wine. Well enjoy.

Berringer or Sutter Home are two of the most popular. Take a look at any brand that has a white Zinfandel and they will also have a whiter merlot available.

Beringer and Sutter Home both make nice white merlots, at a reasonable price. It isn't white, but it isn't nearly as stout as a standard red merlot. it's very good.

I have Beringer at home. It is a pink color. But it is a white merlot. Very excellent.

There is no such thing. Merlot is a BLACK grape. Red wine such as merlot is made from the juices AND the black skins from the grape. Sorry but she's either misinformed or she is b.sing you. Maybe you can make a rose without the skins and call it white!!!!
