2013 Marsanne
On the nose, herbal and mineral notes are complimented by a touch of spice and warm vanilla sugar. Aged in oak for 8 months, but still demonstrating great upfront acidity, hints of mango, peach and pomegranate are pulled through the mid palate with a silky, creamy mouth-feel. Slightly reminiscent of a crème brûlée dessert, notes of caramel, brown sugar and soft touches of nutmeg provide a rich, decadent and full finish.

2015 Marsanne
On the nose, notes of lemon, pear and banana are complimented by undertones of sweet butterscotch and caramel. With a lean acidic backbone, tropical fruits like pineapple and passionfruit remain bright and structured on the palate. A touch of minerality and creaminess keeps the finish long, crisp and decadent.
