Mostly a Marsanne Cuvee with a smaller proportion of Roussanne, the only white varietals allowed in France's northern Rhône appellations. Traditionally mated together, they produce a flavoursome white for those who like to experience a challenging and robust palate, preferably to the accompaniement of fine food.
Terra Felix is an assemblage of components grown to typically rich, red duplex central Victorian soils. High solid ferments and yeast lees contract to highlight textural qualities. It's the whites from Terra Felix that have really impressed the cognescenti, particularly those made from the Rhone varietals Marsanne and Rousanne. The team take the classic Rhône varietals and apply their personal expression to create a whole new way of thinking about the wines. The sole objective is to make wines that capture the natural flavours of the grapes from the Lucky Country. A component of Terra Felix is treated to malolactic fermentation and is matured in acombination of new and prior use oaks. Approx 13.6%
TASTING NOTES
Colour is a straw yellow colour. Enhanced by wild yeast and lees contact, the Marsanne component exudes strong and pleasant characters of nuts with honey. Roussanne delivers wondrous citrus fragarances and blossom-like perfumes. A small portion of reserve wine has been added to give the wine a rich, complex palate and and fine, lasting finish.

About Terra Felix Winery
Terra Felix was originally launched as the second label to the highly respected Tallarook Wines and grew to become a premium winemaking estate
Using excess grapes from Tallarook and surrounding vineyards, Terra Felix immediately caught the attention of wine reviewers. The initial vintages concentrated on commercial varieties such as Shiraz, Merlot Cabernet and Chardonnay. The problem facing the fledging brand was that there were plenty of these wines available on the market and distribution was a challenge. It was decided that Terra Felix should reposition its offering and concentrate largely on using Northern Rhone grape varieties. And why not? The growing conditions, soil and climate around Tallarook bear an uncanny resemblance to Northern Rhone. Terra Felix»
