The 2022 Nashdale Lane Sauvignon Blanc Fumé, crafted by Nick & Tanya Segger in Orange, New South Wales, is a sophisticated and textured interpretation of the classic variety. Aromas of passionfruit, grapefruit zest, gooseberry and crushed herb are edged with subtle flint. The palate is medium-bodied and finely layered, offering citrus pith, white peach and delicate smokiness from minimal oak influence. Bright acidity and a chalky mineral seam provide structure and energy, while a savory saline note lingers on the finish. Clean, elegant and food-friendly, it delivers both purity and poise. Though formal scores are pending, it showcases varietal finesse and regional clarity.
