Philip Rich - Halliday Wine Companion

46/30/16/8% marsanne/roussanne/grenache blanc/viognier. Only the third No. 2 and the first to include grenache blanc. Very bright green gold. Crunchy, fresh pear and green apple aromas sit alongside some chalk. On the palate this has the flesh and richness expected from these varieties while remaining lithe at the same time. A gorgeous example and one that can be cellared confidently over the next three to five years.

Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front

Blend of Marsanne, Roussanne, Grenache Blanc and Viognier. Classy wine. Arresting actually. Spice, brine, white peach, cooked apple and cedar-cream characters with a general waxiness threaded throughout. Effectively a white pepper character in pay too, or certainly something in the pepper/mace area, and oyster shells too. This is both suggestive of richness and taut. Big love here. This is fabulous.

Erin Larkin - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2024 Dry White Wine No 2 comprises a blend of Marsanne (46%), Roussanne (30%), Grenache Blanc (16%) and Viognier (8%). Aromatically, it leads with spring flowers and brine, green apple, pineapple husk, fennel and honeysuckle. The palate follows most obediently. Texturally, this has width and chew, and the lingering flavors through the finish are persistent and light. This is a very pretty wine, one that capitalizes on the phenolic presence and capacity of all the varieties but does not bow to their heavy-handed tendencies. It's a beauty. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
