Description

Scanlons Fumè Blanc is a sophisticated and elegant version of Sauvignon Blanc. Scanlon has made a beautiful version with citrus notes, touch of spice and lingering acidity. Offers a harmonious balance between fruitiness and acidity.

"I wanted to show people how good the variety can be when treated properly and with care, I love the texture and mouthfeel of this wine, crisp and clean but lingering acidity and a roundness to the palate you don’t usually associate with the variety. Touch of herbs with spice and citrus on the nose flowing onto the palate." - Harry Scanlon

Winemaker's Notes

Handpicked and sorted, this fruit from our Estate was whole bunch pressed and underwent a long, slow cold fermentation in third use French Mercurey hogshead barrels. Complete Malolactic fermentation and lees stirring throughout the 8 months in barrel has created a wine built on texture. Ready to drink now but will comfortably cellar for 5 years.

Harry Scanlon

Meet the maker: Harry Scanlon

Harry grew up in and around the family vineyard at Scanlon Estate, located in the Adelaide Hills, and was quickly introduced to the vine and wine world.

Harry knew from a young age it was his ambition to become a winemaker. Harry was lucky enough to be introduced to all things wine by the late and truly great Taras Ochota of Ochota Barrels, and is currently working with the Pinot masters Stephen George and Liam Van Pelt of Ashton Hills Vineyard.

In the past Harry has worked with Louis Schofield of Worlds Apart Wines, along with the constant support and helping hand of Alex Trescowthick currently of Red Heads, Tresco Wine and previously a Nepenthe Head Winemaker.

Harry’s obsession with Burgundy has inspired him to make wines that not only speak of place and are unique to the Piccadilly Valley, but wine of the highest quality with upmost perfectionism and age ability in mind.
