$217.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Fresh and ready to enjoy with summer salads, BBQ pork or seafood on the grill will be great partners this holiday season with the 2017 Marsanne.

Drink young and make this a summer of Marsanne discovery.

Or select some bottles to put away in the cellar nd enjoy them as this wine ages and becomes a full flavoured style with nutty, honey and ripe pear flavours.

Perfumed with white jasmine and lemon zest, the wine has wonderful texture and lingering flavours of honey, pear and lemon citrus.

The 2017 vintage was one to remember, and this could be the best Bird On A Wire Marsanne to date.

Description

Caroline Mooney, Owner and Winemaker

It was the year 2000, when I travelled to South Australia to do my first vintage with the Hardy’s Tintara team in McLaren Vale.

This would test my resolve, sharpen my sense of calling, and set my course on a way forward.

Following this first vintage, I enrolled at Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga to study Wine Science.

Inspired and up for the challenge, I returned to the Yarra Valley and took up a cellar hand position with the Yering Station winemaking team led by Tom Carson, working my way up to Assistant Winemaker by 2004 and Winemaker in 2007.

In 2006, I travelled to Hermitage in France’s Rhône Valley to work at one of the most highly regarded and respected producers, Domaine Jean Louis Chave.

This time in Hermitage inspired me to take a new direction. So in 2008, I left Yering Station to pursue my own winemaking goals with Bird On A Wire Wines.

Raised in the Yarra Valley by Leo and Mary Mooney of the Yarra Valley Dairy, there’s not much I don’t know about this region, its seasons, its topography, the captivating vistas, the colourful personalities and the extraordinary winescape of the upper and lower reaches of the valley – all of these factors make this a place I love to call home.

I have been actively involved in the local wine industry as a founding member of Yarra Valley Wine Women, contributor to the Yarra Valley Wine Growers Association and I continually work on improving my knowledge and palate through research and wine judging at national, metropolitan and regional wine shows.

Fine Wine Cellars

On the one hand, our role as a merchant of all things wine & spirits could not be simpler. We aim to source the most delicious, the most authentic, and the highest quality products possible from Australia and around the world in order to offer them to our clients. We live or die by how well we perform this task. Of course things are rarely as simple or as easy as they seem. Hunting for wines & spirits is no different. Apart from the months spent travelling, countless days and evenings spent tasting and the outrageous wine expenditure in the name of ‘research’, sourcing quality wine and spirits requires expertise and experience. Understanding the potential of a producer and their products is much more than just a slurp and a spit.
