De Salis Wild Fumé Blanc

Harvested with very good skin and seed ripeness, whole bunch pressed, the juice was cold settled and racked off bulk pulp. After 24 hours tank fermentation the wine was transferred to 19% new and older French barriques and lees stirred fortnightly for 12 months.

Honeydew melon, fruit salad and Pavlova on the nose moving to rockdew melon, vanilla, salted caramel and finishes with a dry slatey minerally finish – this fumé style is bone dry with a lovely textured mid palate. This is what Sauvignon Blanc is really about!
Cellaring 4-6 years.
