Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
On the nose, notes of lychee, gooseberry and grapefruit dominate. On the palate, notes of
bright tropical fruit are complemented by a hint of vanilla creaminess. With five months
aging in new French oak, notes of toasted almond and hazelnut bring a richness to the well-
balanced finish.
Production Notes
In Ontario, Fume Blanc must consist solely of the Sauvignon Blanc grape. While Sauvignon
Blanc can be a difficult varietal to grow in Ontario, our winemaker is a big
proponent of producing the varietal in this particular style as it allows for a richer, more
complex palate without overwhelming the wine’s bright fruit characteristics.
Food Pairing Notes
This structured Fume Blanc pairs well with smoked fish, poultry, peppers and garlic. We
like to enjoy this wine with pan-fried salmon with a light salsa verde, pasta with vegetables
in a cream sauce, smoked trout and autumn soups. We believe that cheeses such as
Camembert, Gouda, Gruyere, Parmesan best compliment this wine.
