Producer Information
Located in central Victoria, Mitchelton's first vines were planted in the early 1970s after Australian wine industry legend Colin Preece identified an old patch of grazing land known as Blackwood Park as having great winemaking potential. Not only had the land never seen vines before but the company's decision to focus on Rhone varietals - including whites like Marsanne and Viognier - was almost unheard of at the time. This pioneering spirit continues to this day with new winemaker Ben Haines at the controls.
Tasting Notes
Rich but balanced Rhone-style white with pear, peach, dried apricot and herb notes on both nose and palate. The oak enriches without dominating the fruit and adds depth and spice. A burst of citrus keeps it all perfectly balanced on the finish.
