By popular demand, this year we extended our range of wines into Fumé Blanc. This added a little complexity and richness to our Estate grown Sauvignon Blanc.
Winemaking
The wine was fermented on oak, matured on lees, racked, fined, filtered and bottled, all on the Estate. A little guesswork on how long to leave on lees in the new barrel but I think we got it about right. A very rich and vibrant wine with classic Sauvignon apples and gooseberries under a complexity of oak and smoke. great drinking now but will cellar well for a 4 or 5 years .
Great with seafood and shellfish. Serve with Bluff oysters, Greenlip Mussels or Waimate whitebait patties.
