Tasting notes:
Fumé Blanc, a style with iconic roots and on this milestone 2023 harvest we plan to do justice to the name. This wine starts as a later harvest of Sauvignon Blanc when it reaches a peak ripeness and thorough expression of our Prometheus block. The wine opens with a rush of white peach and pineapple; the 12 months in French oak carry a note of vanilla custard. The palate has juicy peach and key lime reminiscent acidity. A medium plus body where the fruit dominates to the end of the palate, tangy and satisfying. Serve at 50 degrees.

Fermentation and processing:
Whole cluster pressed, and cold settled in stainless steel for two days. Upon reaching 35 degrees, the juice was moved to concrete cast stone. Cast stone preserves the unique terroir, aromas, and flavor profile we want to showcase in our Sauvignon Blanc. After fermentation the wine was moved to French oak barrels where they aged for an additional 12 months before bottling.

Food pairing:
Chicken Cordon Bleu, French Chicken in Tarragon Cream Sauce, Pan Seared Sea Scallops and Potato Celery Root Purée, Roasted Red Pepper and Spinach Quiche with mixed greens
