Oliver Zeter, Sauvignon Blanc Fumé, Pfalz, Germany, 2016

A stunning example of Sauvignon Blanc that will convert anyone who is bored of simple, fruit-driven styles. As the name suggests, it’s oak-aged which gives a smoky intensity that’s balanced by subtle notes of gooseberries. Sourced from old vines, it has bristling tension, drive and a mineral finish. Food is a must for this complex, full-bodied white.
