About the Grgich Hills Estate Fume Blanc 2020 750ml
In 1968, Miljenko “Mike” Grgich went to work for Robert Mondavi as a chief enologist, making the inaugural release of “Fumé Blanc.” This elegant, dry style of oak-aged Sauvignon Blanc was named “Fumé Blanc” by Robert Mondavi, playing on the French word meaning smoke. At Grgich Hills Estate, Mike continued to make this elevated style of Sauvignon Blanc, paying homage to his former employer and friend. Relying on naturally-occurring yeasts, we fermented a portion of the grapes in 900-gallon French oak casks, called foudres, with the remainder in oak barrels. They then aged the wine for six months on its lees (the spent yeast) in neutral barrels.
Grgich Hills Estate Fumé Blanc will tantalize your senses with notes of green pepper, snap pea, lime and star fruit. On the front palate, enjoy the fresh fruit flavors of lemon, lime, and green apple supported by an undertone of sea salt.
This wine's chiseled texture, linear acidity, and long finish make it the perfect pairing with filet of sole, pork loin and savory goat cheese.
93 Points - Wine Enthusiast
This outstanding medium-bodied and well-balanced wine was made from organic grapes. It offers a vivid milky, flinty aroma followed by tangy, mouth-watering lemons, limes and white raspberries. The bright acidity wipes the palate clean with each sip.
