Mount MaryMarli Russell RP1 White Blend
About this product
40% Marsanne, 40% Roussanne, 20% Clairette. Barrel fermented, lees and relatively hard pressing give this wine great texture and depth of flavour. The Mount Mary team are excited by how well these varieties seem suited to their site, and antisipate the veolution of this wine.
The 2017 Marli Russell RP1 displays a tremendously expressive nose of honey, pear, citrus and wildflowers. The pure fruit expression seen on the nose is also reflected on the palate. There is an array of flavours on display here from riper fruits including pineapple and melon through to citrus (lemon, lime and orange). This wine is powerful and concentrated with brilliant length and persistence with a pristine acid profile and freshness.

Medium bodied white wines have a lightly textured mouthfeel with moderate flavour impact. Often pale lemon coloured to pale gold.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

An estate-grown hand-picked trio of 40% each marsanne and roussanne and 20% clairette. Destemmed/crushed, a span of different yeasts used, 100% fermented in French barriques (5% new), matured for 11 months. Has considerable length and intensity, with complexity and depth certain to grow as the wine ages in bottle.
