Murray Street Vineyards
Murray Street Vineyards’ mission is to produce wine that honours the past and helps define the futur
The Marsanne varietal is a white wine grape, most commonly grown in the Northern Rhône region of France. The grape is named after the village of Marsanne, which is located in the Rhône valley. This wine can be complex and full-bodied with rich, nutty flavors coupled with hints of spice and pear. It also has a relatively high alcohol content making it robust and resistant to oxidation. The grape is often blended with Roussanne, providing enhanced acidity, and elegance to the wine. In warmer climates, Marsanne can produce wines that are opulent and have a heavy mouth feel, whereas in cooler climates, the wines tend to have sharper acidity and leaner profiles. Overall, Marsanne grapes can contribute immensely to a wine's longevity and aging potential.
