The Sutherlands Creek vineyard — the same site as the 97-point Mulline Sutherlands Creek Chardonnay — produces Fumé Blanc of extraordinary tropical fruit purity, smoky oak complexity and struck-flint mineral tension. Fumé Blanc — the oak-aged Sauvignon Blanc style made famous by Robert Mondavi — is a wine of extraordinary textural complexity and smoky, wild character, a world away from the crisp, herbaceous style of unoaked Sauvignon Blanc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two Mulline single-vineyard Fumé Blanc expressions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSutherlands Creek\u003c\/strong\u003e — inland Geelong, 96pts Halliday, struck-flint tension and tropical fruit purity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModewarre\u003c\/strong\u003e — coastal Geelong, 97pts Halliday, wild, textural and beautifully composed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt represents:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003evibrant, texturally complex Geelong single-vineyard Fumé Blanc from one of the region's most exciting and celebrated producers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBen Mulline's struck-flint, mineral-driven expression of the Sutherlands Creek vineyard's extraordinary cool-climate terroir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoutstanding value for a 96-point, world-class Geelong single-vineyard Fumé Blanc at $60\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWine Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sauvignon Blanc (Fumé Blanc — oak-aged)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sutherlands Creek Single Vineyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Geelong, VIC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mulline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ben Mulline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServing Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10–14°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCellaring:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drink now – 2030\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrilled lobster with herb butter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePan-seared scallops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoat cheese and charcuterie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrilled fish with lemon and herbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsian cuisine — Thai or Vietnamese\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs a sophisticated aperitif\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy We Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is vibrant, texturally complex \u003cstrong\u003eGeelong single-vineyard Fumé Blanc\u003c\/strong\u003e from one of the region's most exciting and celebrated producers — wild, smoky and beautifully composed.\u003cbr\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e$60\u003c\/strong\u003e, it delivers 96-point Halliday quality and a white wine experience that is genuinely unlike anything else in the Australian market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA must-have for lovers of textural, complex white wine and the finest Geelong single-vineyard expressions.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mulline","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51115751506222,"sku":"LV-MULLINE-SUTHERLANDSCREEKFUME-2024-750ML","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/5010\/5134\/files\/SutherlandsCreekFumeBlanc2024.png?v=1759121230","url":"https:\/\/liquidvibe.com.au\/products\/2024-mulline-sutherlands-creek-fume-blanc","provider":"liquidvibe.com.au","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
