The Marsanne grape originates from the Hermitage appellation of the Northern RhÔne Valley of France, known for producing majestic white wines. In the Dry Creek Valley, Marsanne has found the perfect new terroir, producing wines with the same characteristics yet even more flamboyant and exotic. The floral bouquet is intertwined with hazelnut and stony peach-like aromas with hints of orange blossom and tangerine. The palate is extremely rich and layered with vibrant peaches, roasted almonds and honeysuckle. The perfect companion to shellfish, pasta in cream sauces, or as an aperitif.
