If you’re looking for an alternative to the wildly (albeit often deliciously so) acidic renditions of Sauvignon Blanc, look no further than this iconic bottling from the place that coined the name Fumé Blanc. Barrel fermentation and the addition of eight percent Semillon rounds off the acidity without reducing it, leaving a wine that’s both crisp and creamy in a dry and refreshing manner. Here’s to continuing the legacy of good things.
