Oliver Zeter Sauvignon Blanc Fumé

Oliver Zeter Sauvignon Blanc Fumé is an exceptional German expression of this classic grape, hailing from the Pfalz region. Unlike the typically crisp, clean style, Zeter’s approach involves fermentation and aging in small, partially new French oak barrels, resulting in the "Fumé" designation. This sophisticated technique imparts remarkable texture and complexity. Expect a captivating nose of ripe gooseberry, passion fruit, and delicate smoky notes derived from the oak. The palate is dry, powerful, and creamy, balancing vibrant acidity with layers of minerality, white peach, and subtle vanilla. This full-bodied Sauvignon Blanc is an elegant choice that offers depth, making it an ideal companion for rich seafood, poultry, or strong cheeses. It rewards a slight decanting or chilling before serving.
