Grgich Hills Sauvignon Fume Blanc 750ml

Grgich Hills Fumé Blanc is a Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc made in the style Robert Mondavi popularized decades ago — the grape is barrel-fermented and aged in a mix of French oak, which softens the variety's usual sharp citrus edge into something rounder and more textured. Expect green apple, honeydew, and a light grassy note layered over a subtle oak-driven creaminess, with brighter acidity than a Chardonnay but less zing than a stainless-steel Sauvignon Blanc. It's a versatile white built to work at the table rather than as a purely refreshing sipper. A good pick for anyone who likes Sauvignon Blanc's character but wants a softer, more food-friendly version of it.

How to drink Grgich Hills Fumé Blanc

Serve well chilled, around 45–50°F, and let it sit a few minutes in the glass to open up the oak notes. It's a natural match for roast chicken, grilled fish, or dishes with a cream-based sauce that a leaner Sauvignon Blanc might get lost against.
