Villiera Blanc Fumé 2003

Villiera's 2003 Blanc Fum displays all the characteristics of well ripened fruit and barrel fermentation. Gooseberries and subtle oak spice are evident on the nose while on the palate the Blanc Fum displays good structure and balance with an elegant richness, and a long persistent aftertaste.

in the cellar : Old well established vines form the core of this wine. These grapes ensure sufficient intensity of flavour to handle indicious oak treatment. The juice is well settled and cool fermentation follows under controlled conditions. Seventy percent ferments in barrels in a temperature controlled environment. Malolactic fermentation is avoided to preserve more of the natural fruit flavours.
