The 2022 Lenton Brae In Good Hands Marsanne is a beautifully textural and expressive Margaret River white that showcases the richness and savoury complexity of this classic Rhône variety. Sourced from a cooler coastal vineyard in southern Margaret River, the wine was fermented in stainless steel and aged on lees to preserve purity while building texture and depth. Lenton Brae’s “In Good Hands” range focuses on more alternative and site-driven wines, and the excellent 2022 vintage delivered impressive freshness, concentration and balance.
The nose reveals honeysuckle, lemon curd and white florals layered with apricot kernel, almond meal and subtle brioche notes. On the palate, it is generous yet finely structured with vibrant acidity, creamy texture and a gentle saline edge that keeps the wine fresh and energetic. Layers of ripe pear, stone fruit and soft spice unfold with balance and finesse, finishing long, savoury and quietly mineral-driven with excellent complexity.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2022 Lenton Brae In Good Hands Marsanne is a rich yet beautifully balanced white — textural, savoury and full of personality. A fantastic option for lovers of Rhône whites and alternative Australian varieties with depth and freshness. Perfect with roast chicken, crab linguine, seafood dishes or soft cheeses. Enjoy now or over the next 4–6 years.
