Mcpherson's Charlie's Block Marsanne

With a cellar in Victoria and the Riverland, Andrew McPherson makes some of our most popular Australian wines. He just has the knack of obtaining a great balance of ripe fruit and zesty freshness. He learnt some of his skill from his dad, Jock, then travelled the world to discover more. Charlie's Block is a delicious new release featuring the Rhône's Marsanne grape. There's not much of it grown in Australia, yet Victoria has some of the world's oldest plantings outside France, dating back to 1927. Down Under it produces the same honeyed peach and marzipan character you find in fine Rhône wines, coupled with a jubilant freshness. Chill down a bottle and serve with chicken, barbecued haloumi and vegetable kebabs or a spicy noodle stir-fry.
