Place of Changing Winds Harcourt Marsanne Rousanne
Our Marsanne comes from the same vineyard as our Harcourt Syrah. As always, the grapes were picked fully ripe, pressed firmly and sent straight to barrel (500- and 228-litre) and 220-litre glass Wine globe for fermentation and aging. Malolactic fermentation was left to happen naturally. After 12 months in cask and glass, the wine was racked to tank for an additional eight months before being bottled at the end of November 2023. It will certainly age, gaining more honeyed characters, but it’s delicious now. It has the power and richness of previous releases, yet with good vibrancy thanks to Harcourt’s soils and climate and the inclusion of Roussanne in the blend.
