Murray Street 2007 Viognier Marsanne

Murray Street winery was one of our "exciting finds" on our trip to the Barossa last year. We had been to Appellation restaurant the previous night and 2007 Viognier Marsanne was the wine matched up to one of the courses. Chatting to the wait person she told us how to get to the winery and, more importantly, recommended lunch there as they had platters that you could order to have while tasting.

So that is what we did. It was lovely sitting there in the dappled sunlight looked at the vines, eating great food and sipping wonderful wines. In fact we ordered a bottle each of all we tasted to be shipped back home.

The 2007 Viognier Marsanne is so hard to describe - but it was drunk sitting next to a pool, birds chirping, with scallop pate, prawns and fresh crunchy bread to accompany it - nothing could be better. it is rich, perfumed, fruit salad and lingers and lingers.

If you want you can visit the winery
