The spicy Marsanne grape is a rarity even in its native southern France. This generously round, full-bodied white highlights why this grape is so highly prized in the northern Rhône’s famed Hermitage.
Strangely for a white it loves plenty of warmth. When the sun shines, out comes a rich, tropical character that’s not to be missed. The Montaroi family with their winemaker Pierre have cherry-picked their very best fruit to make this captivating wine.
Pale gold with ripe peach aromas and a hint of spice. Generous, mouthwatering, creamy apricot flavours make this a great accompaniment to baked trout and sea bass.
