Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc - Fautor

In the glass, the Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc - Fautor glows in an intense golden yellow with radiant reflections reminiscent of liquid honey. As soon as it is swirled, generous aromas of grapefruit, ripe honeydew melon and juicy apple rise from the glass. Finely nuanced elderflower settles over them like an aromatic veil, lending the bouquet a seductive floral dimension. The nose reveals impressive concentration without sacrificing elegance.

On the palate, it unfolds with a creamy, dense presence that combines the expected sweetness with vibrant, precise acidity. The texture is dense yet crisp, making every sip lively and full of tension. Notes of candied citrus fruit, light dried fruit and juicy orchard fruit meet a delicate elderflower-like aromatic character. The wine glides into a long, persistent finish in which grapefruit and honeydew melon remain particularly pronounced.

The natural acidity harmoniously balances the high residual sugar content. This creates a dessert wine of great clarity, precision and finesse. The tannins do not play a defining role in this white wine, allowing the focus to rest entirely on fruit, freshness and lavish sweetness. The style is both opulent and straightforward, carried by the varietal character of Sauvignon Blanc from Moldova’s Valul lui Traian growing region.

Production of Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc - Fautor

The grapes for the Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc - Fautor come from carefully selected vineyards in the protected Valul lui Traian growing region in southwestern Moldova. The climate there is distinctly continental, with warm summers and cool nights, giving Sauvignon Blanc pronounced aromatic character. The soils consist of a combination of calcareous layers, clay and sandy components, allowing the vines to root deeply and achieve excellent grape quality.

Through the late harvest, the berries accumulate maximum ripeness and concentration. The grapes remain on the vine for longer, developing intense fruit aromas and pronounced, natural sweetness. Harvesting is carried out selectively so that only optimally ripe grapes reach the cellar. The fruit is handled gently in order to preserve the delicate aromas of Sauvignon Blanc in full.

In the cellar, Fautor relies on maturation in stainless steel tanks. This method preserves pure fruit, clear varietal character and fresh acidity. After gentle pressing, the must undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation. In this way, the aromatic potential of the late harvest is perfectly preserved. The high residual sweetness results from deliberately stopping the fermentation process, creating an expressive dessert wine.

The style of the Fautor winery is characterized by precision, clarity and a modern interpretation of traditional grape varieties. The focus is always on the pure expressive power of the fruit, free from oak influence and overpowering notes. Every step in the production process supports the balance of sweetness, acidity and aromatic depth. The result is a wine that impressively reflects Moldova’s origin while also delighting internationally minded, discerning palates.
