63% Roussanne 21% Viognier 16% Marsanne.
Following the success of their estate grown The Steading Blanc and in keeping with their Rhône influenced wine styles, the newly released Woodcutter’s Roussanne Viognier Marsanne is wonderfully lifted, floral and fragrant.
The dominant variety is roussanne which provides structure and finesse and ties the three varieties together. The viognier offers a pure, floral lift and finishes the wine with refinement and elegance. The marsanne gives the wine some palate texture and richness. This blend demonstrates that these non-traditional varieties to the Barossa have adapted to their new home just as well as their red counterparts have done over the last century or so.
Although beautifully enjoyable in its youth with sashimi and fresh shellfish, this wine will continue to increase in complexity with time and should provide compelling drinking over the coming years.
All varieties were handpicked and gently pressed to individual vats where they are naturally settled. After 24 hours the Roussanne was racked to tank, whilst the Marsanne & Viognier were transferred to seasoned French barriques. Each parcel endured a slow, cool fermentation and rested on fine lees for 7 months prior to ‘assemblage’. The wine was bottled on the 18th of November 2010.
