Marsanne Roussanne
| McHenry Hohnen have long practiced biodynamic farming including heavy composting and controlled grazing. The Marsanne Roussanne is the winery's take on a Rhone Valley classic and the blend is 61% Marsanne and 39% Roussanne. A blend of Marsanne (61%) and Roussanne (39%) from our Calgardup and Hazel's vineyards. Marsanne fruit was gently pressed straight to old barrels for fermentation with the Roussanne undergoing several hours of cold maceration with the skins before being pressed to a single concrete egg. Matured separately on fine lees for 6 months, the 2 components were blended and bottled early spring. | |

| Tasting note |
This wine is aromatic and complex with aromas of honeysuckle, camomile tea and preserved lemons. Marsanne brings texture and generosity along with ripe peaches and beeswax flavours while the Roussanne adds structure and a delicate saline note.
