Second Best Marsanne in Australia ?

02 October, 2008 by jwright

We've made a couple of gold medal winning wines for others but now we've done it for ourself as well

What does it take to have the second best wine in Australia? Curious question? Well what is the best Chardonnay in Australia or the best Cabernet and then what is the second best?
We have been making Marsanne since 2004. That vintage received 2 bronze medals, one at Lilydale the other at the Winewise Small Vignerons Show in 2005.
The 2005 Vintage received a bronze at the Lilydale Show in 2006,a Silver medal at the Wine wise Show and 90 Points in Hallidays Wine Guide of 2008.
The 2006 Vintage went Gold at the Winewise Show in 2008.

Now we don't claim pre-eminence, that goes to Tahbilk who have made Gold medal Marsanne over many years but we reckon we're next best. The current release is the 2005 and is available at the cellar door at Bianchet Winery in Lilydale. Try some soon.
