| 2023 RP1 Tasting Note |
40% Marsanne, 40% Roussanne, 20% Clairette On the nose, vibrant citrus notes lead the way, supported by delicate hints of apricot, mandarin, honey, and fennel. Subtle savoury and secondary nuances from barrel fermentation add complexity and depth to the aromatic profile. The palate is currently taut, lean, and focused. While immediately enjoyable, this wine will benefit from additional time in bottle to allow the mid-palate to broaden and soften. Bright citrus flavours dominate, layered with notes of guava, mandarin, kaffir lime leaf, and a distinctive anise/fennel spice. A touch of orange rind lends an appealing savoury edge and a gently bitter finish. |
