Vinea Marson Sangiovese 2014
Spicy scents of red cherries, blood plums, cinnamon and baked earthy with a whiff of citrus oil precede a smooth, refined and gentle palate of ultra-fine tannins and refreshing acidity. Superbly balanced and supple, unfolding layers of fruit and texture, it’s unquestionably a leading Australian expression of this variety and frankly absurd value for money. Tasted more than eight years later, it has evolved wonderfully, developing layers of perfume and texture, weight and richness of flavour, extending long and complete towards a lingering, savoury finish with earthy and meaty nuances. The tannins have bult superbly, folding the wine within a firmness and balanced structure that enhances every single other aspect of its quality.

Vinea Marson
Mario Marson left a long and distinguished incumbency with Dr John Middleton at Mount Mary before heading to Heathcote in 1999 to develop his own vineyard. One of the dictums he picked up from Middleton was to focus on multi-clonal vineyards, something that was reinforced to him while spending time in Italy, especially with Paolo di Marchi at Isole e Olena. Marson's wines are about an un-Heathcote-like as most wine drinkers could imagine, since they deftly marry the perfume and brightness of (comparatively) early-harvested fruit with subtle and savoury qualities. His varietal selections enable him to explore his Italian heritage and contribute to the broadening spectrum of quality wine in Victoria.
