This wine was made at Shadowfax by Matt Harrop and Alister Timms. The grapes were handpicked at 1.5 tonnes to the acre, then destemmed and gently crushed followed by natural fermentation in aged French oak on lees, before being transferred to large format aging vats for further maturation. Minimal fining before bottling.
Golden straw hues; this Marsanne Roussanne Viognier displays high notes of hedgerows and mint, yellow nectarine and red gala apple orchard, with fresh grass and spring meadow flowers. There are soft, viscous notes of honey and pecan with a fine spine of Meyer lemon acidity driving the palate.
