RKS 2025 CANADIAN Wine: 2021 Nomad Fumé Blanc From Niagara, Ontario

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inFood, WineTags:, , , , , , ,

Aroma: Lemon, lime, guava, peach, pineapple and mango. Wow this has lots going on!

Palate: Despite all the fruitish bouquet activity there is a certain austerity on the palate and despite 12 months ageing in oak it has a clean stainless-steel backbone, or least that is the way it presents itself. Try and try you might detect in a massively compact and secretive fashion all the fruit described in aroma above. A brackish and dry finish.

Personality: Functional and militaristic Sauvignon Blanc.

Food Match: Fish and chips at the Niagara Golf and Country Club on the outdoor patio on a hot July evening. Pork chops marinated in lemon juice, oregano and olive oil on the grill.

Price: $20 CDN.

Cellarbility: Drink by 2025-year end.

RKS  2025 CANADIAN Wine Rating: 87/100.

(Nomad 2021 Fumé Blanc, VQA Niagara Lakeshore, Hinterbrook Estate Winery, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, 750 mL,12.5%).
