Marsanne: the New Rousanne, or Something Like That
Last week I tried a good wine from Qupe, called Marsanne. Apparently Marsanne is another Rhone-style grape increasing in popularity along with Viognier and Rousanne.
It’s also supposedly such a yummy grape that birds love to eat them, leaving few for the winemakers! Hence the need to mix with my other favorite, the rare and lovely Rousanne.
So, impress your friends and relatives, pull out a bottle of Marsanne. It’s so 2007.
