Squitchy Lane Yarra Valley Fumé Blanc 2020

Definitely a case of less is more. A little less exuberant Sauvignon herbaceous-ness here – especially on the bouquet – and a little more textural appeal as is the Fumé Blanc way. Six months maturation in old French oak barrels contributes a smooth mouthfeel, while three years in bottle brings a touch of complexity. The scent of apple blossom and lantana lends a soft aromatic touch to snow pea aromas, sweet sugar snaps, dill, green bean and flint. Everything comes together and shines on the palate deepening to include flavours of apple, pear with added buttery, warm brioche. Finishes with a lick of saline rockpool, dry and clean.
