Country: Australia / Warramunda Reprise
Variety: Marsanne Victoria
Winery: Ben Haines / Yarra Valley
Yarra Valley isn’t really where you’d expect to find Marsanne, so this entirely barrel-fermented example is a treat. Only 10% new oak is used, just enough to lend a subtle note of toasted hazelnuts to the fruit, imparting silky texture and added complexity to the white peach, fig and melon flavors on the medium-bodied palate. Finishes long and citrusy.
