Over the years, Fumé Blanc has become a cornerstone wine in the Da Silva portfolio. Made from estate-grown fruit sourced from their two Naramata Bench vineyards (Hidden Hollow and Blenheim Hill), this Sauvignon Blanc was first fermented in stainless steel to preserve the fruit's flavor integrity. It was then aged on its lees in oak barrels for eight weeks, adding texture, layers, and complexity.
On the nose, it offers aromas of gooseberry, pink grapefruit, peach, and mandarin, complemented by a grassy note that gradually reveals the varietal's classic characteristics. The palate unfolds intriguingly in two stages: initially, a burst of tropical fruit flavors—pineapple, mango, and guava—explodes on the tongue, setting the stage for a mineral-driven finish with a hint of lingering white spice.
After 30 minutes of breathing, the tropical notes evolve into more citrus and orchard fruit flavors, such as lime, golden apple, lemon custard, and Okanagan peach. The finish remains consistent, with a tartness that highlights the Naramata Bench terroir beautifully. This wine promises even greater complexity with age—can't wait to revisit it in three years!
