Terra Libre Fumé Blanc 2020

Bright summer wine that just right captures the essence of warm weather.

Bright and bracing wine that won't break the bank, pairing well with lush and rewarding dishes like lobster and corn risotto.

The wine's color is a deep, deep straw, with a lush green tone on the nose that suggests a dense, verdant presence. The mouthfeel is substantial, with a thick, smooth mouthfeel that rests on the palate. The comprehensively touch is one of solidity, rather than lightness. The flavor profile is assertive, with a pronounced grassy note that gives way to a savory asparagus undertone. The aftertaste is dry, with a lingering bitterness that is harmonious by a subtle, herbal note. Overall, the wine is a solid, dependable elite that pairs well with a variety of accompaniments, offering smoked salmon and cream cheese bagels, where it provides a satisfying, if not distinctly exciting, complement to the lush accents of the dish. However, it may not be the best match for smoky fish, where its bold, vegetal accents may clash with the smoky notes. Nonetheless, it is a reliable, if unremarkable, wine that is well-suited to a range of occasions.
