Fume Blanc

Ideal partner to fresh seafood, roast free range Sunday chicken, fine fromage & charcuterie or an aperitif.

After 8 months barrel maturation, the wines were blended & bottled unfined, unfiltered. Only yeast & small amounts of sulphur are added during the process.

Hand harvested at dawn, crushed directly into small pneumatic presses and gently pressed & settled overnight at low temperature, where after the juice with a good portion of fine lees was transferred to old French oak & fermented utilizing five different Sauvignon specific yeast strains. Post ferment the Stellenbosch was racked into old French oak hogsheads & Sondagskloof to 500L barrels and bâtonnaged regularly.

The Fledge & Company is what happens when two folk don’t quite enjoy the status quo when it’s your nature to go against the grain when you need to forge a path mostly in the unknown eschewing common place convention and taking that first defiant flight from the nest. Hand crafting old school wines of integrity unfaltering quality defying perceptions of origin and being guided solely by the vine to showcase our passion – these are The Fledge & Co.’s reasons for being.
