Russian River Valley Fumé Blanc - La Rochelle Vineyard

Only 150 cases made. Aged 6 months in Hungarian Oak. 13.7% alcohol.
We want to recognize the grower, Andre La Rochelle for his hard work and enduring patience in developing this exceptional 5-acre Sauvingnon Blanc vineyard. This is a true Fumè in every aspect; it’s full-bodied and round with 100% malo-lactic, the fruit character is big and up front with flavors of pear, grapefruit, and finishes with a touch of vanilla. This wine is a great alternative to a Chardonnay, in fact we believe it’s a much greater value than most Chards. Serve it with Caesar salad, Spinach salad, chilled oysters or with Thai, Mandarin, or Cantonese food. This is also the ultimate porch/veranda-watch-the-sunset sipping wine.
