Owned by the Quinn family from Ireland with winemaking by Stephen Carrier who has also worked in California and Australia. Less than 2000 cases are made annually of the white wine from 70% Sauvignon Blanc, 25% Sémillon and 5% Muscadelle. Ageing in 40% new oak.
Lively, gourmand and pure, the 2022 Blanc from de Fieuzal evokes aromas of verbena, white fruits, flowers and menthol. Medium to full-bodied, enrobing and charming, it's seamless with a fleshy, gourmand core of fruit and bright acids enhanced by an ethereal, pure and pristine balance. This blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Sémillon confirms the stylistic evolution of this estate. Kudos! 2025 - 2045
A bright grassy nose, with real lift and tang from grapefruit, spice and smoke. Silky and soft on the palate, there is a lanolin character together with bruised peach and pear.
Sliced green apples, pears, green mangoes, cedar and nutmeg on the nose of this crisp and focused white. It’s layered, complex and spicy, with medium body and wonderful phenolic tension. Drink or hold.
A blend of 55% Sauvignon Blanc and 45% Sémillon, the 2022 de Fieuzal Blanc exhibits aromas of spring flowers, lemon oil, al dente pear and peach with flinty hints. Juicy, round and deep, fleshy and fresh with a medium to full-bodied palate, it has a slightly phenolic finish. The aging process should reduce the slight austerity and bring more flesh and substance.
