2024 Fume Blanc - Jahant Woods 03 Vineyard

LangeTwins 2024 Fume Blanc - Jahant Woods 03 Vineyard

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 2024 growing season was marked by significant climatic events that influenced vine development and fruit quality. A wet winter and early spring provided ample soil moisture, delaying bud break slightly but ensuring healthy canopy growth. Moderate temperatures in April and May allowed for an even and successful fruit set with minimal shatter and occasional spring rains helped sustain vine vigor without excessive disease pressure. An extraordinary heat wave commenced in June, with temperatures soaring in July. This intense heat temporarily stalled vine growth; however, grape skins and acidity levels remained intact, leading to a higher quality harvested compared to previous years. The heat wave also accelerated sugar accumulation in grapes, resulting in an earlier start to crush. White grape yields were smaller while red varietals produced average yields.
