Details
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 layers of creamy texture and nutty flavour from oak and yeast lees.
Comprising regional, varietal wines of distinction, our Family Cellar range was created to be something special from the outset. The marriage of magnificent fruit from sustainable, old vineyards and traditional, hand-crafted winemaking techniques ensure beautifully balanced, elegant table wines that display a true sense of place.

| 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. |
| Cellaring Potential | We have been making Family Cellar Marsanne since the 2003 vintage and all have shown the ability to age well. This 2012 Marsanne should also cellar well for at least 5-6 years, perhaps longer. |
| Food Matching | This is a richly flavoured wine with crisp acidity and subtle oak. As such it will be a perfect foil for winter favourites such as simply prepared Roasted Chicken with Root Vegetables. |
| Variety | Marsanne came from the Rhone 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. |
| The Wine | Our Marsanne has enticing aromas of pear and quince with layers of creamy texture and earthy, nutty flavours from oak and yeast lees. |
