VARIETYViognier Roussanne Marsanne REGION Rutherglen, AustraliaWINEMAKER Marc ScalzoVINEYARDOur Marsanne, Viognier and Roussanne are grown on the De Bortoli Shelley’s Vineyard on the eastern edge of the Rutherglen region. The site has interesting gravel, clay and alluvial soil mix. Tasting NotesMid-gold in colour, the nose is rich and complex: buttered brioche with a hint of stewed apricot. The palate is rich & developed but still with elegance and complexity - buttered toast with a hint of lemon curd. Food PairingThe richness of the wine demands food of a similar stature - crayfish, fish with a rich (often cream-based) sauce, usually butter based. Full-flavoured fish are ideal - swordfish, cod. Pork and chicken dishes work well also. CellaringDrink within the next 18 months. Serve cold. |
