Somm4All WSET 3 rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Located only minutes from the heart of Niagara-on-the Lake, Strewn winery has been committed to producing “quality first” Ontario wine for almost 8 decades. Their 2016 Fumé Blanc is comprised of Sauvignon Blanc grapes that have spent 8 months sitting on lees in oak barrels. On the nose aromas of grass, green pepper, fresh herbs, lemon, pear and fresh grass greet you. On the palate the wine is dry and fresh with flavours of lemon, lime, pear, grass, fresh herb, white pepper, mandarin orange and vanilla. The alcohol lever is 14.5% however it is very well integrated and well-balanced making for a smooth and easy drinking wine. An Ontario Sauvignon Blanc with a nod to France, this would pair well with breaded filet of sole and asparagus salad.
Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Lovely, smooth, and refreshing. Aromas of peach, pear, slight green herbs, vanilla and a hint of oak. Luscious on the palate, medium acidity, and a touch of heat on the finish due to the 14.5 ABV. Enjoy with creamy spring pasta with fresh green veggies and a parmesan cream sauce.




Natalie's Review

Strewn Winery Terroir Fume Blanc Sauvignon Blanc 2016, Niagara, Ontario VQA, Canada: A crisp, fresh yet savoury Fume Blanc made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes. You'd never guess the alcohol is on the high side at 14.5% -- it's so refreshing. Winemaker Marc Bradshaw has produced a lovely white wine with a satisfying finish. Pair with game birds and grilled chicken. Drink: 2018-2022. 14.50% D 750 mL  $25.00 Score: 90/100. November 27, 2019 Top Rated White Wine. Profound Pasta and Cream Sauce Wine  Full Review

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
