Ravensworth The Grainery 2022

Ravensworth The Grainery is a full-bodied white Rhône blend of Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier.

Few Australian whites have quite this cult following: never made in quantity, and inevitably absorbed by the country's better restaurants and wine bars within weeks of release. The 2022 is thirty-five per cent Marsanne, thirty-five Roussanne and thirty Viognier, drawn mostly from twenty-five-year-old vines on the granite soils of the Murrumbateman estate at 650 metres. Fruit was picked in passes from 20 March through to 19 April and pressed to seasoned 600-litre demi-muids to ferment and mature. After ten months the wine was stirred and moved to a twenty-hectolitre seasoned Stockinger foudre for another year, then bottled unfined and unfiltered in February 2024.

Yellow peach, dried pear, beeswax and ginger, broad through the middle but held in balance by a dry, mineral finish. Serve at 12 degrees in a large glass. It suits roast chicken with tarragon, pork belly, or a rich fish pie.
