Alpha Estate Sauvignon Blanc Fumé 2021 Review
It’s not often that we see Sauvignon Blanc with some oak exposure. This move changes the entire profile of the variety, calming its savory side and making room for more fruit. The acidity is medium instead of bracing, giving a sense of depth on the nose and palate. The mouthfeel has a creamy texture, with the natural acid in the wine lifting the body up so the weight doesn’t overwhelm it. Everything is in its right place here. One sip, and you’ll just know.
