The Fledge & Co Fumé Blanc 2017 presents a wonderfully complex nose. Expect aromas of lime leaf, green apple, honeydew melon, and a white pepper note. The palate is balanced and textured. Barrel time tempers the Sauvignon’s typical exuberant fruit. It showcases pea shoots, white peach, nectarine, and subtle vanilla. A creamy oak undertone leads to a gently savory, lingering finish.
