2023 Fume Blanc - Jahant Woods 03 Vineyard

LangeTwins 2023 Fume Blanc - Jahant Woods 03 Vineyard

Jahant AVA

A harvest year full of challenges has produced one of our most exquisite white wines to date. The 2023 Fume Blanc showcases aromas of Meyer lemon and crisp green apple that rise from the glass, intertwined with hints of tropical guava and a touch of flinty minerality. On the palate, bright citrus and orchard fruit flavors are balanced by subtle herbal undertones, reminiscent of fresh lemongrass and thyme. Aging in neutral oak has softened the wine’s natural acidity, lending a creamy texture and toasty lingering finish.

The 2023 vintage has been a reminder of the grit required to be a winegrape grower. The season commenced with record breaking rainfall from a system of ‘atmospheric rivers’ that put pressure on the nearby river and slough systems. Our vines were able to stretch out in the soil and regain their strength from previous drought years. Our teams carefully managed each vineyard to tamp down threats that were the result of a wet start and their efforts were recognized with the exceptional quality of this vintage. Summer came in softly, with long days and cooler temperature, excellent conditions for a long growing season. Harvest started in earnest in early September and finished nearly two months later on November 13th.
