Mitchelton Single Vineyard Marsanne 2021 750ml

Textural Nagambie Marsanne with citrus, honeysuckle, almond and graceful ageing potential.

About The Wine 

Mitchelton Single Vineyard Marsanne 2021 is a beautifully textural Victorian white from Nagambie Lakes, showing the freshness, spice and gentle richness that makes Marsanne such an underrated variety. This is a stylish alternative to Chardonnay for those who enjoy layered white wines with citrus fruit, floral lift and a savoury, nutty finish.

The 2021 vintage shows lemon, lime, green apple, honeysuckle and almond, carried by balanced acidity and a silky mid palate. It is drinking beautifully now, with the structure to continue developing extra honeyed, nutty and savoury complexity with time in the cellar.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh lemon, lime, apple blossom, honeysuckle, thyme spice and subtle almond.

Palate: Silky and layered, with citrus fruits, green apple, gentle spice, almond meal and a rounded textural feel.

Finish: Persistent and balanced, with fresh acidity, savoury nutty detail and lingering citrus.

Halliday Wine Companion - 93 Points 

Brings the grape's herbals and florals to the fore in jasmine, acacia and cress with preserved lemon and quince. The grape's naturally modest acidity is on high alert – a good cellaring sign but what really captures the tastebuds is the dusty lemon, ginger, lightly savoury middle palate and finish. Do not over chill. Jeni Port

Serving Suggestions

Serve chilled, but not too cold, to let the texture and aromatics open up. Enjoy with roast chicken, grilled seafood, creamy pasta, pork, lightly spiced dishes, mushroom risotto, soft cheeses or vegetable tarts.

About the Winery / Producer / Region

Mitchelton is one of Nagambie Lakes’ best-known estates, located on the banks of the Goulburn River in Central Victoria. Established in the late 1960s, the estate has become recognised for expressive regional wines, particularly Rhône varieties such as Marsanne and Shiraz.

Nagambie Lakes is a distinctive Victorian wine region shaped by its inland climate, ancient soils and cooling influence from local waterways. Marsanne has a strong history in the region, producing wines with citrus freshness in youth and the ability to develop honey, lanolin, toast and nutty complexity with age. Mitchelton’s Estate Marsanne captures this regional signature with freshness, texture and excellent cellaring potential.

Cellaring Potential

Enjoy now for its citrus, floral and almond notes, or cellar for up to 8 to 10 years from vintage. With age, Marsanne can develop richer honey, toast, lanolin and roasted nut complexity while retaining balance and length.
