Tasting Notes

Medium-bodied, naturally fermented, Flor-aged then oxidatively aged on ullage for 10 years. A project long in the making, long in patience. Marsanne raised under flor, oxidised. An anthem to vin jaune but wholly its own thing. It gets to 16% without fortification (it started in barrel in 2011 at 12%!) Curious and wonderful thing. I’m so grateful for things like this happening in Australia.

About the Winery

Ben Haines is a famous winery and wine boutique based in Yarra Valley in the Melbourne region in Australia. It started as a venture and project of the winemaker of the same name.

Ben began by sourcing the grapes from the so-called “magic dirt.” He got them from different and distinct origins per year and season. He put in several years of hard work to grow the winery to the level seen today.

Ben delved into the art and line of winemaking with his studies and training in viticulture. From there, he started paying close attention to each element, aspect, and happening of the fields. Thus, Ben believes that his life originated in the vineyards, making it his second home. For that reason, he deems the source of his knowledge and concepts of winemaking to be the terroir itself. In addition to that, he credits his inspiration and creativity to the vineyards.

The vineyards owned by Ben Haines possess a deep charm and interest. They capture and deliver a sense and feeling of mystique. It allows the grapes grown and harvested to be expressive. That is why the wines produced by the winery have an intense texture with mesmerising flavours that continue to develop with each sip. They showcase a perfect blend of harmony, balance, and longevity. On top of that, the wines portray the vastness of taste, aroma, elegance, poise, and details.

The high quality of the wines produced by Ben Haines can also get attributed to their flawless preservation process. The winery follows a sensitive and gentle yet confident approach. It ensures high purity by using the best possible natural ingredients that speak for themselves when presented with an opportunity. Such a feat was possible solely due to the winemaker’s curiosity and exploration in his pursuit of perfection.
