Tasting notes:

The wine is mid-straw in colour, with just a hint of gold. The nose is youthful and pronounced. There is plenty of green fruit (apple, pear and kiwi), some interesting herbal notes (sage in particular), all overlaid with toasty oak. The palate has lively acidity and is dry. The warmish alcohol and mouth filling fruit contribute to the wine’s body and texture. The oak returns on the finish to add length. Overall, a very successful rendition of the fumé blanc style.
