Le Fumé - Sauvignon Blanc, AOC Lake Zurich
Our Fumé is the crème de la crème when it comes to Sauvignon blanc. It is a knockout in the glass and full of exotic aromas, which is how it got its name, meaning "fragrant." With Sauvignon, the vine has more energy available for aroma development with each harvest, which is why we harvest the grapes for the Fumé last, when the berries have developed an enormous aroma. We macerate the grapes and set them aside in a cool place for 48 hours to extract all the flavors before gently pressing the juice. The Sauvignon is vinified spontaneously in stainless steel tanks and, after six months, is aged for another three to four months in used barriques. The result is a Sauvignon blanc that breaks with convention. JET Fumé JET carried by its exotic fruit flavors of grapefruit, bergamot, yuzu, and passion fruit right through to its long finish. It is full-bodied and the subtle wood notes give it structure: it is neither super elegant nor clumsy. The Fumé is in a league of its own and should be enjoyed with delicious dishes such as paella valenciana.
Terroir and harvest: the quest for maximum aroma
Le Fumé is the crème de la crème of our Sauvignon Blanc production in Uetikon. Jonas Ettlin relies on a late harvest for this wine: the grapes for Fumé are the last to be picked so that the vine can put all its energy into developing enormous aroma and concentration.
Vinification: Where craftsmanship meets daring
The production process for Le Fumé breaks with the conventions of classic Swiss white wines:
Cold maceration: The grapes are crushed and left to rest in a cool place for 48 hours to extract the maximum flavor from the skins.
Spontaneous fermentation: The must ferments spontaneously in stainless steel tanks to preserve the purity of the fruit.
Barrique finish: After six months in steel tanks, the wine is aged for a further three to four months in used barriques. This gives it its distinctive structure and depth.
