De Gras Reserva Fume Blanc

Crafted in the sun-drenched Leyda and Colchagua Valleys of Chile, De Gras Reserva Fumé Blanc is a refined, beautifully structured white wine produced by Viña MontGras. Celebrated for its modern approach to Chilean viticulture, MontGras selects prime Sauvignon Blanc vineyards benefiting from cool coastal breezes and gravelly clay soils. The grapes are hand-picked at early morning temperatures to preserve peak varietal freshness and vibrant fruit intensity. Following soft pneumatic pressing and cold settling, a portions of the juice undergoes temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation to retain bright tropical and citrus aromatics, while a selected portion is fermented and aged for 3 to 6 months in fine French oak barrels with light lees stirring. This gentle oak influence transforms crisp Sauvignon Blanc into a velvety "Fumé Blanc," seamlessly pairing zesty citrus with subtle smoky oak complexity, vanilla creaminess, and a round, textured mouthfeel.

Food Pairing: Grilled salmon with lemon-herb butter, pan-seared sea bass, cedar-planked trout, roast chicken with herbs, goat cheese crostini, creamy pasta Alfredo, and fresh seafood ceviche.
