Description

This Marsanne is based on the style of the great Hermitage Blancs of the Northern Rhone Valley. They aim for richness, minerality and hedonism in this, their most premium white wine. The style is typically lower in acid and high in phenolic content, which provides richness on the palate and requisite phenolics to age. While floral, bright in fruit and pretty in youth this wine should age to become savoury, richer and more complex in years to come.

It is barrel fermented in half-new French oak. It is lees stirred and undergoes malolactic fermentation and matured in French oak. Aside from a minor bentonite fining, no fining or filtration is done to maintain the phenolic richness of the variety.

Tasting Profile

Nose
Notes of butterscotch, honeyed citrus, stone fruit, white florals and apricot kernel.
Palate
Shows a creamy phenolic texture, though not in the slightest part oily. Flavours of stone fruit and honey abound with light lemony acid to maintain the long finish. The wine finishes with white peach and subtle savoury ham hock, with persistent phenolics driving to the end of the palate.
