Product Notes

Grgich Hills Estate Fumé Blanc - Dry Sauvignon Blanc is an exquisite wine from California’s Napa Valley. It reveals an enticing blend of elegance and complexity, featuring vibrant aromas of fresh citrus, melon and a touch of mineral. On the palate unfolds a rich, full-bodied flavour dabbed with a restrained hint of oak. Its perfectly balanced acidity and pronounced crispiness make it an excellent companion for a variety of dishes, while its intense character allows it to stand splendidly on its own. This Sauvignon Blanc is a testament to Grgich Hills Estate's commitment to crafting world-class wines.

Tasting Notes

This wine opens with notes of green apple, lemongrass and snap peas with undertones of flint and minerals. It exhibits a mouth-watering freshness and structure on the attack, a great complexity on the mid-palate with fresh and tangy fruit characteristics and a linear and unwavering acid structure building the frame. It is a wine of enormous precision and minerality with a finish that evokes the crystal-clear serenity of an Alpine mountain stream on a cool summer morning.

Founded by Mike Grgich, an immigrant from Croatia, and Austin Hills, the proprietor of Hills Brothers Coffee, the 366-acre estate has grown from its humble beginnings to international fame. In 1976, at the Paris Wine Tasting, Mike Grgich's Chateau Montelena Chardonnay outperformed several high-profile French wines in a blind tasting session. Thus cementing his winery’s reputation as a top-tier wine producer.

One would be hard-pressed to visit Napa Valley and not pay a visit to Grgich Hills Estate. Its iconic farmhouse-style tasting room, adorned by lush vineyards, sets the scene for an unforgettable wine tasting experience. But the true magic lies within the alluring nectar of the grapes, handcrafted to produce the most exquisite selection of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, and Chardonnay among others.

From the moment each grape is handpicked to the second it's transformed into delicious wine, every process at Grgich Hills is handled with meticulous precision. The estate is firmly committed to natural winegrowing and sustainability; consequently utilising solar power for their energy needs, and relying on naturally occurring yeast for wine fermentation.

Adding to its allure, the winery offers an array of distinguished wine tasting tours. Visitors can embark on vineyard walks, gain insights into the wine-making process, or indulge in wine and cheese pairings. There's no dearth of activities for those who appreciate the finer things in life.
