2023 Marsanne Roussanne - Warramate
Medal One
Medal Two
A blend of two complimentary varieties that make for an opulent white wine. The Marsanne brings some lemon verbena flavour and energy while the Roussanne was made for ultimate generosity, some beeswax weight and mouthfeel.
When blended we craft a fresh yet delightfully waxy and generous wine full of fragrant orchard fruits.
Winemaking
Whole bunch pressing of both the Marsanne and Roussanne for minimal phenolic extraction. Both fermented on full solids in old oak barrels for texture, complexity and weight. The hard pressings included to contribute weight and a tannin bite. A fruity yeast was chosen to enhance the esters.
