Sauvignon Blanc Fumé

$30.00
Grown under mottled light to enhance tropical notes, the grapes were harvested with vibrant acidity. After crushing, a 50-hour skin maceration built structure, complexity and spice-driven depth. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel, with 66% undergoing secondary fermentation for added texture and mouthfeel. The wine then matured for 14 months in 85% French and 15% Hungarian oak, enhancing structure and aging potential while preserving its expressive, layered character.

Tasting Notes

The nose bursts with spicy-sweet clove, guava and tropical fruits, with a violet floral intensity and ripe peaches complemented by strong natural acidity. The palate is soft and textural, with a medium body and long, refreshing acidity. Gentle oak toast lingers on the finish, with undertones of lemon myrtle and ripe lime adding zest, while a framing of sweet oak adds complexity and depth. Best paired with spicy foods or creamy pasta for a harmonious pairing, this wine is a balance of freshness and complexity.
