SCOTT MCCARTHY
Winemaker Scott McCarthy was born in the wine game. From the moment he was old enough to walk his father had him in the family vineyard picking grapes. Scott joined Yalumba and after spending 10 years working in the Barossa Valley, he spent a number of years in areas as diverse as the USA's Napa Valley, the Loire Valley and Languedoc region in France, and Marlborough, in New Zealand. He came to realise that making wines from a cool climate region was where his true winemaking passion lay, and as a result he settled back in Australia at one of the best cool climate regions in the world; the Yarra Valley.
'En Vie' Sparkling Blanc de Noir En Vie
In French it
means 'Alive'. This sparkling wine came to existence due to the fact that the
team at Helen's Hill were fed up of drinking inexpensive bubbles that were too
sweet or too bland. It left them feeling like this style of sparkling had
something more to give. This sparkling Pinot Noir strikes a perfect balance between
fruit sweetness and balanced acidity. The fruit is handpicked early in the
season, whole bunch pressed to tank and cold settled for 3 days, after which it
is racked to a separate tank and cool fermented for 6 weeks. Methode Charmat is
then used to create this beautiful sparkling with a fine bead.
