The Fledge & Co. Fumé Blanc 750ml

Winemakers Leon Coetzee and Margaux Nel craft The Fledge & Co. Fumé Blanc from select cool-climate vineyards across the Western Cape. The Fledge & Co. Fumé Blanc reimagines traditional Sauvignon Blanc through low-intervention winemaking and subtle oak influence. Grown in granite and sandstone soils, the grapes deliver outstanding fruit concentration and balanced texture.

• Nose: Expresses complex aromas of lime leaf, white peach, melon, lemongrass, and subtle dried wildflowers.
• Palate: Layers of Meyer lemon peel, nectarine, and green citrus blend with a rich, creamy texture.
• Finish: Concludes with a gently savoury, flinty grip and long, mouth-watering acidity.

The team hand-harvests grapes based strictly on taste. After short skin contact in the press, the juice ferments slowly at cool temperatures in neutral French oak barrels. A portion matures in second-fill French oak and glass demijohns to preserve vibrant natural acidity. The wine spends seven months on the fine lees before bottling unfined and unfiltered.
