Product description
Set in the cool climate area of Adelaide Hills, Sidewood is continuously receiving high praise from leading critics including James Halliday who has consistently given them a five-star rating. Made by award winning winemakers whose CVs include top wineries such as Penfolds and Shaw & Smith, their wines are elegant yet complex.
Only the best grapes are selected from the Sidewood estate to make the Mappinga Art Series. The winemaking philosophy is simple – to create stylish, elegant, high quality wine. Their Fumé Blanc is aged in 40% new oak barrel. Flavours of ripe pear, mandarine and lemon with a hint of sweet honeysuckle. Creamy on the palate with a delightful and a long herbaceous finish.
Click below to hear more about the wine, direct from wine-maker Darryl Catlin:
Fermented in barrel for eight months with 30% new oak, this has a measure of stately pride in its taut frame. There’s a lot swirling flavour in the creamy-textured mid-palate – pear, honeysuckle and lemon pith – then herbs join as it heads towards a long finish. Oak adds a dusky tone that brings savoury roundness to the plush fruit.
