The 2022 Sandy Road Vineyards Estate Marselan is a unique offering from our family estate, meticulously hand-harvested from rows 67-87 to ensure the utmost in quality and character. This distinctive varietal, known for its robust structure and deep flavors, has been carefully aged for 12 months in a balanced combination of French and Hungarian oak barrels, enhancing its complexity while preserving the vibrant fruit essence.
This Marselan is characterized by its rich, bold flavors and an aromatic profile that hints at blackcurrant and ripe red berries, with subtle notes of spice and a touch of oak that adds depth without overshadowing the wine’s natural vibrancy making this wine both immediately approachable and suitable for aging.
Ideal for pairing with hearty dishes, the 2022 Estate Marselan complements grilled meats, robust pasta dishes, and mature cheeses, making it a versatile addition to any meal. Its well-balanced acidity and full-bodied nature also make it a standout choice for an evening of sophisticated sipping.
