The Range
These back vintage All Saints Estate wines are special wines that are carefully cellared deep inside the castle and released only when they are at their peak for your drinking pleasure.The Wine
Hand harvested, wild fermented and unhurried. Barrel fermented by indigenous yeast and aged on lees for 18 months, then bottled with minimal intervention. This is a Marsanne of bewitching aromas of pear, quince and musk with layer upon layer of creamy texture and flavour.Variety
Marsanne came from the Rhône Valley in Southern France, where it had languished, unloved, for many years. Finally the French are realising what we in North East Victoria have known for generations, that Marsanne is a wonderful variety. Our vines are over 50 years old, resulting in fruit of uncommonly intense flavour.Winemaking
Marsanne responds well to ultra-modern techniques of cold fermentation in stainless steel. However, it can really shine when given minimalist, old style handling. The fruit was hand harvested and the pressed juice run to old and new barrels. There it was allowed to ferment naturally and aged on full lees for over a year. We have done as little as possible in the final stages, minimising fining and filtration to present the wine in all its glory.Food Matching
This a richly flavoured wine and will best match full flavoured white meat dishes, try it with Italian style roasted leg of pork with rosemary, sage and crushed fennel seeds.Cellaring Potential
We have now been making this wine for eight vintages, and our first, the 2003 has been drinking beautifully since its release in 2005. It is still full of vibrant fruit and has stunning depth and subtlety. This 2009 Marsanne should cellar well for at least a decade, perhaps longer.
