2024 MRV

This white blend draws inspiration from the classic wines of the southern Rhône, where Marsanne, Roussanne, and Viognier are traditionally combined to create wines with depth and harmony. Each variety plays a distinct role in the blend: Marsanne provides richness and weight, Roussanne brings balance and elegance, and Viognier contributes lifted aromatics and stone-fruit character. Southern Oregon’s climate is particularly well suited to these Rhône varietals, allowing them to fully express their character.

To preserve the individuality of each grape, the varieties were fermented separately and aged in barrel for six months before blending. This approach allows for careful selection and balance, resulting in a wine that highlights the strengths of each component.

In the glass, the wine offers inviting aromas of apricot and pear. The palate follows with flavors of lemon, stewed apricot, and ripe yellow apple, supported by a smooth, rounded texture. Six months of lees aging adds richness and complexity, giving the wine a lush mouthfeel and a long, satisfying finish.
