"Influenced by trips to Rhone Valley in France, and the fact their site is not conducive for Chardonnay and wanting to produce something besides the often-ubiquitous Sauvignon Blanc, Mark planted two small blocks to Marsanne (.14 and .22 of an acre). Rather than trellised, they are managed goblet style, each vine growing around a single metal stake. Both Mark and Sam spent time visiting several cellars in the Rhone Valley including at M.Chapoutier where they learned how this winery manages Marsanne, including the specific yeasts used for fermentation. The Vangone Estate Marsanne is fermented in wooden puncheons and aged for about 14 months. Obviously, there is not much of this coveted wine."
