Notes | Winemakers Notes The growers of this wine are Delwyn and Doug Bell. One of Doug’s pride and joys is his restored and running Allison supercharged V12 out of a Curtis Kittyhawk. This wine is named in Doug and Allison’s honour (we aren’t sure what Delwyn thinks about this). Marsanne hails from the Rhone Valley in France and loved the warm and dry conditions that typified vintage 2015 in Gisborne. The fruit was harvested in pristine condition on 8 April and was bottled on 2 September. Vinification and elevage was entirely in tank.Tasting Notes Colour: Pale straw with gold tints Bouquet: Lightly scented candlewax, hints of melon, honeysuckle and stonefruit Palate: Full-bodied and luscious, with great mouthfeel and length |
