Review Summary:
Marsanne is a grape I usually associate with the Rhone Valley, but here is a great version of this wine from Ontario. Winemaker Philip Dowell at Kew Vineyards has followed up his award-winning 2015 vintage of Marsanne with an equally worthy 2016. Yellow straw in colour, its lightly mineral, floral, white peach nose has some oak spice backing. It is medium-bodied, dry, elegant and beautifully balanced with a fresh, white peach flavour and lemony acidity. Works well with grilled fish.
