Yeringberg Marsanne Roussanne 2023

Description

Product Description: The 2023 Yeringberg Marsanne Roussanne is a beautifully composed Rhone-style blend that highlights the Yarra Valley’s ability to produce whites of depth, texture and longevity. Crafted from estate vines, some dating back several decades, the wine reflects both heritage and precision winemaking. Marsanne provides structure and quiet power, while Roussanne contributes fragrance and lifted stone-fruit aromatics, resulting in a harmonious and expressive partnership. The wine opens with an inviting perfume of pear, white nectarine and honeysuckle, layered with hints of lemon curd, beeswax and a gentle almond nuance. Fermentation and maturation in oak have been handled with restraint, building mouthfeel without masking the wine’s natural vibrancy. Across the palate, it is medium-bodied yet concentrated, revealing impressive texture balanced by fresh acidity that carries the fruit with clarity and energy. Subtle mineral tones and a faint saline thread add sophistication, guiding the wine toward a poised and persistent finish. There is a quiet confidence to the structure, suggesting the wine will develop further complexity with careful cellaring while remaining highly appealing in its youth. The 2023 vintage captures both generosity and control, delivering a layered white that feels simultaneously classic and contemporary. It pairs effortlessly with roast poultry, seafood in butter sauces or softly spiced dishes, rewarding slow appreciation.
