2018 John Duval – Plexus White (750ML)

ORIGIN | Australia

GRAPE VARIETAL | 48% Marsanne, 43% Roussanne, 9% Viognier – Rhône-style White Blend: The aim with Plexus MRV is to promote a vibrant expression of fruit aromas from the interaction of the three varieties; and on the palate, to build structure and texture, rather than just acid crispness. Aromas of stone fruits, honeysuckle, citrus, and ginger. The medium-bodied is textured with balanced acidity. Flavors of nectarine, mandarin, and spice.

If you are looking for a white wine that is vibrant and aromatic, with excellent structure and crisp acidity, look no further. The 2018 John Duval Plexus White Barossa Valley Australia is all that and more!

WINEMAKER NOTES | John Duval is one of Australia’s most highly regarded winemakers. Raised on a South Australian farm with three generations of grape growers before him, his vinous path was fated. However, it was during his 28-year tenure with Penfolds that his passion for the famed Barossa Valley flourished.

TASTING NOTES | Delicate aromas of pear and apple skins, peach and citrus are flecked with honeysuckle and beeswax on the nose. Creamy yet balanced by bright acidity, a wet stone and wax character tucks away the fruit on the palate. While drinking well now, it will for the next few years. Drink through 2023. – CHRISTINA PICKARD, Wine Enthusiast; Rated 93/100
