From John Duval Wines in Australia's Barossa Valley, the Plexus Marsanne Roussanne Viognier 2023 is a refined Rhône-inspired blend of 41% Marsanne, 34% Roussanne, and 25% Viognier, sourced from premium sites in the Marananga sub-region for Marsanne on red-yellow brown loams over clay, Kalimna for Roussanne, and higher-altitude Eden Valley for Viognier, capturing vibrant aromatics and balanced freshness. Hand-harvested grapes from the cool, La Niña-influenced 2023 vintage—marked by excellent soil moisture and late harvest yielding concentrated yet even fruit—undergo gentle pressing and cold settling, with fermentation commencing in stainless steel tanks; some Marsanne and all Viognier complete fermentation and mature in fine-grain French oak for six months, while the rest ages on lees in tank to enhance structure and texture. This sustainable approach yields a pale straw wine with green highlights and remarkable poise.

Tasting Notes An elegant, textured white with vibrant citrus and subtle floral spice, reflecting Barossa's diverse terroir. The nose reveals Meyer lemons, orange blossoms, beeswax, Asian pears, peaches, and baking spices. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and integrated, with bright acidity, creamy texture, and flavors of juicy stone fruit, lanolin, and a touch of chalky grip, leading to a long, tangy finish.

Awards and Accolades The 2023 Plexus Marsanne Roussanne Viognier earned 93 points from James Suckling for its fresh vibrancy and generous integration.

Serving and Cellaring Serve at 10-12°C with 20-30 minutes of chilling to accentuate aromas. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with seafood, poultry, or soft cheeses. Enjoy now through 2033, during which it will develop enhanced nutty and honeyed nuances.
