Marnong Estate Light Dry Red - Pinot Noir / Shiraz giantsteps2024 littered with blue-grey fossilised oysterWith new winemaker Alex Beckett on board (ex Briar Ridge), and a big investment in their vineyards and winery, Marnong Estate is headed in a fantastic direction. Pale garnet. Pretty aromas of cherry, rhubarb, blackberry, liquorice, crushed leaf and spice. Soft and plush entry of boysenberry and dark cherry across soft and gentle tannins. A lovely clean, bright and easy drinking style with loads of appeal.
