Blanc Fumé

2020

ARTISAN RANGE.

This Sauvignon Blanc was fermented in 500 – liter second-fill, third-fill and older barrels and matured on fine lees for 10 months prior to bottling. A small percentage of tank-fermented Semillon was blended back for freshness. No malolactic fermentation was allowed. Aromatic aromas of green apple, pear and stone fruit are present. A distinct minerality with a slight earthiness is an expression of the cooler climate. A wine with great longevity – the lanolin and other tertiary flavours will develop over time.

Tasting Notes

Fermented in 500-liter barrels, the use of oak on this wine is a delicate approach. Hints of orange blossom and subtle stone fruit line the fresh palate – a unique expression of Sauvignon Blanc.
