About this product


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.
