Watermelon/White Merlot question

Posted by: RickH, Saturday, March 06, 2010

I just purchased a new kit Watermelon/White Merlot, and was wondering if anyone else has obtained one of these? This is actually my first kit purchase, and am a bit confused. I had thought that White Merlot wine would use a white variety grape, yet the grape juice in this kit is extremely red, definitely not a white variety. Anyone else seen this? Thanks

White merlot is along the same lines as White Zinfandel. They are blush wines, and will look much darker in bulk, but will be a pale pink in your glass. They are meant to be a sweet rose style of wine.
