TASTING NOTES
(Marsanne 62%, Roussanne 38%). From vines that are now approaching 50 years of age, our 2021 white blend continues its tradition of being an understated, complex and food-friendly wine. The nose is floral, with notes of jasmine, honeysuckle and orange blossom, while also having a subtle, savoury depth that speaks of pear skin, quince & beeswax. The palate offers more of the same, with a savoury, textured and powerful mouthfeel, that’s also lively and fresh, with a long and moreish finish. Enjoy now, and then watch this complex wine evolve over the next 8-10 years. – Sandra de Pury

Scores

97/100

62/38% marsanne/roussanne from vines planted between 1973 and ’85. The varieties were picked and made separately with blending just before bottling. Both were fermented in tank before being 10 months in seasoned oak. A bright green gold. Year in and year out, this wine delivers the goods. Pure fruited with stone and orchard fruits, orange blossom, fresh ginger and a touch of spice. It's mouth-filling and textured yet super fresh. Finishes long and with a little apricot pith and fresh lime. Excellent. 97 points. Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion Aug 2023
