Oliver Zeter Reserve Sauvignon Blanc Fumé is an intense Sauvignon Blanc that is barrel-fermented to impart a smoky "fumé" complexity.  Its nuanced palate features stone fruit, lemon, herbs, hints of passion fruit, and subtle gooseberry tones.  There are superb buttery notes from the aging on fine lees and lime curd follows on gloriously at the end.  Grapes for this wine are exclusively sourced from Oliver's oldest and finest vines, creating an exquisite and memorable experience in your glass.

Vineyard and Winery

This Sauvignon Blanc comes from the oldest and best vineyards in the Zeter collection. The finest and ripest grapes were selected in the vineyards for this purpose and were harvested by hand into small 20kg baskets.  The grapes were then crushed and pressed and the juice was immediately transferred to new French oak barrels where the must was spontaneously fermented.  Malolactic fermentation was prevented to retain the crisp freshness.  Next, the wine was poured into stainless steel tanks along with its fine yeast where it remained until it was bottled in the summer.  Due to the influence of the wood, the wine gained both typical Sauvignon Blanc notes as well as a strong finish with slightly smoky (Fumé) flavours.
