2022 Highwayman Fume Blanc

This 2022 Fumé Blanc is one of the best vintages produced to date. It was created by harvesting the best of the MacLeod Sauvignon Blanc lots--hillside and flats--and finished in neutral French oak barrels with toasted heads for about four months. From the nose--fresh citrus zest, bright melon and tropical notes prevail. And the midpalate--a lush, round and full mouthfeel.  Light, friendly acidity balances this wine out wonderfully and drives it home with a satisfying, lingering finish. This is definitely a welcome return to the Highwayman lineup. Pairs exceptionally well with olive oil poached chicken salad on brioche, pan roasted halibut with citrus fennel broth or even an appetizer of cold salmon mousse on buttered sourdough crostini.
