Bella Terra Vineyards - Fumé Blanc 2019

This French oak-matured Sauvignon Blanc from renowned winery Corus Vineyard embodies both the classic Fumé Blanc style and the power of the exceptional 2020 vintage in Niagara. The nose reveals a captivating bouquet of grapefruit, buttercream, pear, caramel and banana. The first sip offers a refreshing burst of classic Sauvignon Blanc characteristics with vibrant notes of citrus, honeydew melon and white peach, with a hint of fresh garden herbs and mint for subtle contrast. The mid-palate and finish are impressive, allowing the fullness and richness of the wine to shine through. The ripeness of the 2020 grapes and oak aging are clearly evident, with a rich body and warming notes of spice, vanilla and buttercream stealing the show.

Perfect accompaniments for this wine are a classic Spaghetti Carbonara or a cedar-grilled trout with a dill cream sauce.
