Having the biggest single holding in the world of this variety, Tahbilk have definitely made marsanne their signature grape. The wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel – what we smell and taste in the glass is the intrinsic varietal character.
The bouquet shows aromas of waxy florals, citron (which I also call fat lemon) and pear. Fresh honeydew melon and green papaya dominate the palate with hints of legume/cereal and apricot kernel that I always see in marsanne and a roundness that defines this variety.
Born and raised in Naples, Italy, Andrea came to Australia in 2013 after graduating with an environmental science degree. While working as a waiter in between jobs, Andrea found he enjoyed hospitality much more than his previous career during a stint working at MoVida Sydney. After a short apprenticeship at 121 BC, Sydney’s ground-breaking gem for Lo-Fi Italian wines, and a few months with the Lotus Group, Andrea moved to Melbourne and reunited with Movida. He’s been curating the highly regarded Wine List at Movida Melbourne, including one of the country's finest Spanish selections, for the past 3 years while studying for the WSET diploma.
