Oliver Zeter Sauvignon Blanc Fume 23

Description

Fermented in new oak and aged in stainless steel. This is a complex and multi layered wine that will surprise many. It is not like NZ, or even Loire Valley sauvignon blancs, but more like a wine from Bordeaux. Tropical fruit is enhanced by the oak. Stone fruits abound and the harmony is perfect.

Jancis Robinson said of the 2019 – Wine of the week July 2020 A very serious Sauvignon with some honeysuckle and weight but quite enough freshness. Green grassy aromas before the richness imbued by the winemaking kicks in. Very appetising. When Germany produces a really interesting, well-balanced Sauvignon, you know the wine world is truly changing and we all have to run to keep up.

Jancis Robinson said of the 2018 – ‘Lightly sweet and grassy on the nose with some floral notes and real fatness of fruit.  Rather exotic – like a tropical fruit – passion fruit?  Long and rich but tied up at the end by very fresh acidity. I think many people would enjoy this. Though not Sancerre purists. Screwcap and nice modern packaging with a line drawing of a wine-drinking bear on the label. Another successful Pfalz Sauvignon Blanc’  Jancis Robinson comment on the 2016
