With a strong heritage in the Yarra Valley, these three Rhone Valley white varieties have performed incredibly well across just a small area on the estate. The combination of these three varieties builds a wine with lifted honeysuckle perfume, fine acidity, great texture and length. The overall effect is a savoury wine that is ideal with a range of food types.

This third Glen Garvald Marsanne Roussanne release builds upon the realisation of a 13-year long process of development from inspiration to ideation to actualization of a dream triggered by our winemaker working the 2006 vintage at the incomparable Domaine Jean-Louis Chave in the Hermitage appellation of France’s northern Rhône Valley. This family-owned and operated domaine has been producing blends of superlative and ethereal expression and highest regard from these perfectly matched varieties for centuries. Unfurling aromas of ginger, lychee, makrut lime leaf, vanilla custard, tarragon and orange blossom introduce the rich and viscous palate. The wine’s length and persistence are enhanced by tactile phenolics and a subliminal bitterness contributed by the Marsanne skins. Roussanne works as the perfect foil, harnessing and focusing the power of the Marsanne, adding definition across the palate and accentuating the finish. Flavour resounds and reverberates as a result. This wine may experience a couple of peaks throughout its maturation: an initial youthful vibrancy followed by a period of relative dormancy of indeterminate time. Its second rising will be the most definitive as it experiences a long, graceful and stable blooming into its twilight. Best serving temperature: 8-12°C.

This single-vineyard single-block dessert wine represents an exploration into hybridising the dessert wine styles based on vins de paille (straw wines) from Hermitage and the Cote de Jura and Vendange Tardive (Late Harvest) styles from Alsace in France. Grapes were left to linger and intensify on the vine to achieve high sugar levels and honeyed complexity. The wine walks a measured fine line between tension, generosity, and medium-sweet weight. It featured aromas of ginger snap, cardamon, cumquat, crème anglaise, fresh quince, pink peppercorn, and beeswax. The palate is defined, with a fine line of toast and mid-level sweetness. It travels down the palate with length, assisted by moreish tactile phenolics. It featured Seville orange, white chocolate, crème caramel and Campari flavours, with a very long finish and resonance of flavour. This wine is suitable for vegans.
