Bull Lane Marsanne 2022

"What a marvellously magical marsanne. Brings together the qualities you want to see, elevating the Rhône grape to that serious next tier of quality. Fermentation in large-format French oak plants a textural seed and leesy intrigue. Ripe fruit in citrus, peach, jasmine and a tingling mandarin-skin exotic note excite the palate. Flows effortlessly, warmly, to the tune of almond nougat running deep into a long finish. Seriously good."   Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion

"This does the variety justice in a dictionary definition kind of way, but it elevates it too. Lots of limey acidity, some saline mineral qualities, tonic water, a touch of crisp radish with its pepper lilt. The wine is refreshing but squeaky, slick in texture and stretches out well. It feels good now, but I wager cellar time will also excel."    Mike Bennie.  The Wine Front.
