This Fumé style Sauvignon Blanc has notes of guava, passionfruit, sage and a delicate hint of oak to finish.

Vine to Wine

Harvested at dawn at 860m above sea level. The grapes were lightly pressed to extract free run juice and then tank fermented. Once fermentation was completed the wine was transferred to seasoned French oak barrels for ageing. Left on yeast lees with regular battonage to provide a more complex, savoury finish.

Pairs With

The smooth mouthfeel, soft acids, and a burst of tropical and herbaceous flavours, means the 22 Colour Series Sauvignon Blanc Fume, perfectly complements a range of light and aromatic curries, whether it be seafood, chicken, or vegetarian. Though the rich flavours can stand toe to toe with some strongly flavoured meals, it will still sit comfortably in the refreshing afternoon sun-downer category, a great all-rounder!
