Lofty Fumé Blanc

De Salis Wines Lofty Fumé Blanc is sourced from the cool climate Lofty Vineyard, perched high on the northern slope of Mount Canobolas in the Orange region.

Sauvignon Blanc grapes are whole bunch pressed and the juice is fermented using natural microflora. It is racked to first, second and third use French oak barrels for nine months of maturation with weekly lees stirring.

Pale yellow, De Salis Wines Lofty Fumé Blanc is finely structured with ripe fruit notes, toasty oak and a chalky, mineral finish. Cellaring potential is seven years.
