Utzinger Fume Blanc 2023

Utzinger Fumé Blanc is an elegant and aromatic white wine, crafted from Sauvignon Blanc grapes with partial barrel fermentation which has imparted a subtle smokiness, adding complexity to its profile. Tropical fruits, with the influence of citrus and green apples are underscored by a softness through the mid palate with a herbal note and a hint of flint. The oak influence is gentle, contributing to a refined finish of well balanced acidity. It is a sophisticated that wine pairs beautifully with seafood, poultry, and soft cheeses, showcasing the excellence of cool-climate, Tamar Valley Sauvignon Blanc and visionary winemaking by Matthias Utzinger. region:Tamar Valley, Tasmania budburst rating: #excellentwine 92pts last tasted by Joe, 13/7/24
