The 2019 vintage could be described as a winemaker's dream

become. A long summer brought a gentle, even

Maturation. The season allowed the unusual luxury of harvesting each block at its ideal time of ripeness.

The ripe grapes for the 1st block of Fumé Blanc were harvested by hand between September 2nd and 9th, before the wine spent eight months on the lees in French oak barrels (41% first use).
