Marsanne Viognier Roussanne 2017 Limited Release
DESCRIPTION
Tasting Notes
Rutherglen is renowned for producing flavoursome wines from varietals originating from the Rhone Valley in France. Viognier provides intense stone fruit flavours, Roussanne gives texture and Marsanne the crisp acidity. This wine is a fine example of a classic blend that delivers a full spectrum of flavours and texture all in harmonious balance. - Colin & Jules Campbell
Wine Making
Fruit was harvested at optimal ripeness and fermented at 14˚C to retain the inherent character of each varietal. The wine was partially matured in a mix of one and three year old French oak barrels and carefully blended just prior to bottling to attain a wine with perfect balance and complexity.
Cellaring
Whilst enjoyable as a young wine, we believe the wine has the necessary components to improve in bottle over the coming 3-5 years. A perfect match with flathead tails and aioli.
