Fume Blanc 2021
The name "fume" originates from the word "smoke" in French. The use of the name "Fume Blanc" was first made by Robert Mondavi (one of the most important and influential wine producers in the history of California wine) to give a separate name to a wine of the Sauvignon Blanc variety that has been aged in barrels to distinguish it from a wine of this variety that has not been aged in barrels ( Because of the barrel roasting that contributes "smoky" flavors to the wine).
100% Sauvignon Blanc. The yields are very low because of growing without irrigation that relies on the winter rains only, and also because of organic growing which requires crop thinning to maintain the health of the grapes.
The grapes were harvested by hand at night in the organic vineyard in Shfeya valley at the beginning of August 2021. The cold grapes arrived early in the morning at the winery and immediately entered the process of separating the juice from the grapes. The grape juice underwent spontaneous fermentation and was aged in barrels for 6 months on the lees of wild yeast.
A wine with a deep straw color, medium body. Aromas of citrus fruits, green grass, nectar, and guava. In the mouth you feel flavors of citrus blossoms and candied grapefruit peels. White fruit and minerality in the long consistent finish.
A living wine. A healthy wine. An ecological wine.
Organic wine is grown and made in a living, healthy environment, with respect for fertile soil, biodiversity in the vineyard, and the well-being of nature and people alike.
Organic wine ensures a wine free of toxins and rich in flavor, aroma, and color, as well as beneficial components such as antioxidants. It expresses the character of its growing region through taste and aroma, with strong potential for high quality and long aging.
What is organic wine?
The term “organic” is legally protected.
The word “organic” may be used on wine labels only when both grape growing and winemaking meet strict and clearly defined requirements.
Organic wine is made from grapes grown in vineyards free of toxins, synthetic materials, and genetic engineering. Vineyard management is carried out using ecological methods that protect people and the environment, preserve biodiversity in the vineyard, and maintain soil fertility.
Grape growing, vineyard practices, and winemaking are conducted with full transparency and under continuous supervision. Both the grape grower and the winemaker must be certified as organic producers by an authorized inspection and certification body. The IQC certification seal appears on the label and attests to compliance with all required standards.
