Narrative:
Upon reaching 200 we encountered wake turbulence from the preceding B737 that started to roll the aircraft. The first officer quickly called for a go-around because the approach became unstable. Airframe buffeting and aircraft roll was detected. ATC spacing was too close for the wake to dissipate.
