Introducing Ingram Rd Sauvignon Blanc

Located in the Yarra Valley, Helen’s Hill Estate is one of a number of Australian wineries stepping up to the challenge of being added to the illustrious Murray Downs Wine List.

Wine maker Scott McCarthy (born and breed in Mildura) spent his early years making wine for Yalumba before gaining valuable experience in the Napa Valley, France and four years in Marlborough NZ before returning to the Yarra Valley. During his time in NZ it is fair to say that Scott made quite a bit of Sauvignon Blanc and he now combines this wine making experience with premium Estate grown Yarra Valley fruit to produce a “Savvy” that is giving other wineries looking to be added to our wine list a real run for their money.

Pale straw in colour, herbaceous, grassy characters on the nose, tropical fruit flavours on the palate and a clean, crisp, fresh finish are the hallmarks of the Ingram Rd Sauvignon Blanc.

Murray Downs is a tough market to crack and I’m confident you’ll enjoy this new wine list addition at Murray Downs.
