Churchview Bartondale Reserve 2007 Marsanne

Marsanne is a white grape variety which originates from the Northern Rhone region in France. It is one of 8 permitted varieties in the Cotes de Rhone appellation. The Churchview 2007 Marsanne is a testament to the variety, displaying straw colours, and lifted aromatics of honeydew, apples, pears, soft spices and subtle nuances of vanilla from some careful oak application in the winery. The aroma builds as you progress through the glass, changing and developing over time. The full flavoured wine continues the savoury notes of pears and spice. The wine is concentrated, layered and complex, displaying clean acidity and a long finish.
