Marciano Estate Blanc comes from a one–acre parcel on the estate where the soils are quintessential for Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Musqué. Hand–harvested, whole cluster pressed, fermented in different fermentation lots, then aged nine months sur lees, resulting in an extraordinarily complex wine that gratifies all the senses and competes with the great Bordeaux Blancs.
The color is layered with a shiny gold, saffron with a touch of silver on the rim. The nose begins with an explosion of fresh lychee and guava paste evolving to a hint of lemon peel and melon flavor hard candy.
On the palate, there is a soft and coating finish balanced by fresh acidity. As the finish continues, you find lingering bright notes of grapefruit juice, baked pear, clementine zest, and a hint of acacia.
Serve slightly chilled, allowing all the aromas to flourish. Exceptionally approachable upon release, but if you appreciate aged white wines, it can be cellared for 3 – 5 years to allow bottle bouquets to develop.
