Mitchelton Marsanne
Nagambie Lakes
Price Range at Release: $20-$29
Vintage: 2021
Alc %: 12.2
$ Rel: 26
From a cool, late season comes this elegant, reserved marsanne whose waxy fragrance of yellow flowers, citrus and melon reveal suggestions of creamy yeast and are likely to build with time. It's long and shapely, with a chalky expression of stonefruit and citrus with some underlying nutty complexity that finishes savoury and quite dry, with hint of funk.

Winery
Mitchelton
Since buying the property and brand in 2011, the Ryan family has developed Mitchelton into one of the signature destinations in Australian wine, featuring a brilliantly appointed boutique hotel and day spa. The property also hosts The Muse restaurant and the Mitchelton Gallery of Aboriginal Art (Australia's largest) and its remarkable contemporary collection. Currently undergoing a major renovation in its extensive vineyard, Mitchelton is steadily moving towards a focus on white and red varieties from the Rhone Valley in France - such as shiraz, grenache, mourvedre, marsanne and roussanne - all the while retaining and developing what is perhaps its most consistent wine over the decades, the Blackwood Park Riesling.
