2016 Mount Mary Réflexion Fumé Blanc
Mount Mary
The vines which bear the fruit for this wine were planted in 2008, on a south-facing slope. The 2016 Réflexion Fumé Blanc is 100% barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc. The winemaking methodology follows other Mount Mary white wines, where the fruit is pressed relatively hard to give the wine a phenolic texture. Fermentation is conducted with a high solids component for added complexity, while a higher fermentation temperature (than would be considered typical for Sauvignon Blanc) is encouraged, to give the wine less overt primary fruit and more secondary complexity.

Oyster shells, citrus, citrus blossom, whiffs of vanilla. Comely perfume here. Fine and bright in the palate, quite slinky but also has a neat chalky edge. Very long too – pristine in flavours with just a hint of nutty savouriness. A delight. Totally.
