This wine is a living piece of Australian wine history. The de Pury family planted Marsanne here in 1973 and established Australia’s first Roussanne vines in 1983. For over four decades, this site has produced one of the country’s most sophisticated Rhône-inspired whites, and under Sandra de Pury’s stewardship, it remains a benchmark for texture and longevity.
The 2023 vintage offered a unique scenario: both varieties ripened simultaneously, allowing them to be picked on the same day. The fruit was crushed and destemmed with some skin contact, fermented in tank, and then matured for 10 months in old oak on light lees. With no new oak and no malolactic fermentation, the winemaking is designed to showcase the "waxy intensity" of the fruit rather than the artifact of the winery.
The result is a wine of immense finesse and understated power. It leaps from the glass with lively aromas of jasmine, orange blossom and honeysuckle, interwoven with savoury notes of pear skin, ginger and quince. The palate is savoury and textural, with a framework that feels broad yet precise. It is a food-loving wine that is energetic now but has the structure to evolve beautifully over the next 8–10 years.

“Complex with aromas of pear, white nectarine, candied ginger and light floral scents. A little more restrained than the ’22, this always gently textured wine finishes citrus pithy, chalky and long. Lovely.”
