Turon Wines – One of the Adelaide Hills' Exciting New-Generation Producers

Behind Turon Wines are husband-and-wife team Turon and Alex White.

Their story is particularly interesting because, unlike many established Australian wineries, they didn't inherit a famous estate or generations of vineyard ownership.

They built their business themselves.

Turon White graduated from the University of Adelaide with a Bachelor of Oenology with Honours in 2010.

He subsequently gained valuable experience working with established wineries in Australia and overseas.

His international experience included vintages in Oregon in the United States and Eger in Hungary.

But it was the Adelaide Hills that captured his imagination.

The combination of elevation, cool-climate vineyards and extraordinary diversity made the region the perfect place to pursue his own winemaking vision.

In 2017, Turon and Alex established their own winery in Lenswood.

Their ambition was to produce wines with elegance, genuine flavour and a strong sense of place.

Wines that were approachable and enjoyable, but also interesting enough to reward closer attention.

And that is exactly what makes Turon Wines so exciting.

Lenswood – Cool-Climate Winemaking at Its Best

Lenswood is one of the Adelaide Hills' most fascinating subregions.

Situated in the elevated eastern part of the region, it is particularly well suited to cool-climate grape varieties.

Pinot Noir.

Chardonnay.

Pinot Gris.

And other varieties that benefit from slow, even ripening.

The cool conditions help grapes retain the natural acidity essential to fine sparkling wine.

And that acidity is particularly important in Blanc de Noirs.

It gives the wine energy.

Freshness.

Structure.

And the ability to balance its delicate fruit character.

This is one of the reasons the Adelaide Hills has become such an exciting region for Australian sparkling wine.

Blanc de Noirs – Sparkling Wine Made from Red Grapes

Blanc de Noirs translates from French as “white from blacks.”

It refers to a white sparkling wine made from dark-skinned grape varieties.

In Champagne, the traditional varieties used for Blanc de Noirs are Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.

Although the grapes have dark skins, their juice is relatively pale.

By pressing the grapes carefully and limiting skin contact, winemakers can produce a pale sparkling wine with the distinctive character of red grapes.

And that is what makes the style so interesting.

Compared with many Chardonnay-based sparkling wines, Blanc de Noirs can offer additional fruit generosity, texture and subtle red-berry character.

Think red apple.

White peach.

Delicate strawberry.

Rose petals.

And a lovely savoury complexity.

Fresh and elegant, but with genuine depth and personality.

Thoughtful Winemaking and Minimal Intervention

Turon White's approach to winemaking is based on a simple philosophy.

Start with excellent fruit.

Work carefully.

Intervene only when necessary.

And allow the natural character of the vineyard and grape variety to shine.

Sustainability is an important part of the Turon Wines philosophy.

The estate has invested in organically certified winemaking facilities and carefully managed vineyard holdings.

Its wines are made with a commitment to preserving fruit purity and expressing the character of the Adelaide Hills.

The Blanc de Noirs is also vegan-friendly.

This is modern Australian winemaking with a genuine respect for the vineyard.

Rose Petals, Red Apple, White Peach and Beautiful Citrus Freshness

The Turon Sparkling Blanc de Noirs is wonderfully inviting.

The aromas open with delicate rose petals.

Then come fresh red apple and white peach.

There is a beautiful citrus lift.

And subtle red-fruit notes add another dimension.

On the palate, the wine is bright and lively.

The fruit is beautifully expressive.

The bubbles are fine and refreshing.

And the acidity provides wonderful energy.

There is also a subtle creamy character that makes the wine particularly appealing.

The finish is clean, vibrant and citrus-driven.

A delicious combination of freshness, elegance and genuine flavour.

This is the sort of sparkling wine that makes you reach for a second glass.

A More Interesting Alternative to Everyday Prosecco

One of the things we particularly love about this wine is that it offers something different from the usual everyday sparkling options.

Prosecco is generally celebrated for its bright apple, pear and floral fruit.

Blanc de Noirs brings another dimension.

Delicate red berries.

Rose petals.

Additional texture.

And a slightly more vinous personality.

Turon's version remains beautifully fresh and approachable.

But it offers enough complexity to make it genuinely interesting.

If you enjoy sparkling wine but want to explore something beyond everyday Prosecco, this is a magnificent place to start.

And at $36, it's a very affordable introduction to the style.

Outstanding with Food

The Turon Blanc de Noirs is a wonderful food wine.

Its delicate fruit, fine bubbles and refreshing acidity make it particularly versatile.

Fresh Oysters

The citrus freshness complements the natural brininess of oysters.

Pan-Seared Scallops

Beautiful with scallops, particularly when served with a light butter sauce.

King Prawns

A terrific match for fresh prawns with lemon and aioli.

Kingfish Sashimi

The delicate fruit and refreshing acidity complement the richness of the fish.

Smoked Salmon

The wine's freshness provides a lovely balance to smoky, savoury flavours.

Roast Chicken

An excellent match for roast chicken with lemon and herbs.

Antipasto

Perfect with prosciutto, olives, salami and fresh cheeses.

Soft Cheeses

Beautiful with Brie, Camembert and fresh goat's cheese.

And of course, it's absolutely delicious on its own.

A chilled glass of Turon Blanc de Noirs with fresh seafood is a wonderful combination.

Perfect for Entertaining and Celebrations

This is a sparkling wine that works for almost any occasion.

A long Sunday lunch.

A summer barbecue.

A birthday celebration.

A dinner party.

Or simply a glass before dinner.

It has the freshness and lively bubbles that make sparkling wine so enjoyable.

But there is also enough texture and character to appeal to serious wine drinkers.

At just $36 a bottle, it's the sort of sparkling wine you can confidently serve to friends without spending a fortune.
