Description

A harmonious blend of 56% Marsanne, 32% Viognier and 12% Roussanne.  As this ensemble suggest, this is very much a wine which resembles a  Northern Rhone White, with beautiful aromatic persistence from the two latter varietals and a solid core of fruit and weight from the Marsanne.  I personally enjoy this style hugely, but it does require careful vinification as the varietals’ acidity is on the low side and could, if not handled well, yield wines of flabby weight and no freshness. The team at Turkey Flat have succeeded admirably and this wine exhibits a delicious bouquet of apricot and honeysuckle, with ripe, rounded stone-fruit flavours on the palate, and a fresh, long finish. Excellent with fish in a cream sauce or light poultry dishes.

About this WINE

Turkey Flat Vineyards

Turkey Flat Vineyards

Turkey Flat Vineyards is a wine estate located in Barossa Valley in Australia. It was here, on the banks of Tanunda Creek where bush turkeys once roamed, that pioneer Silesian settler Johann Friedrich August Fiedler planted the first vines in 1847.

The vineyard was purchased by the Schulz family in 1860 and is still owned by the family today. It yields very small quantities of intense, concentrated Shiraz and is the cornerstone of Turkey Flat vineyards.

The eclectic range of wines – including a rare unblended Mourvèdre, Pedro Ximénez fortified wine, and an ‘air-dried’ Marsanne (The Last Straw) - are produced in very small quantities. The reds are made using only French oak and are made in an elegant and restrained style.

Turkey Flat Rosé is widely touted as Australia’s best and is widely lauded by wine critics. This rosé is one of the only Rosé producers to own dedicated Rosé vineyards.
