Rob@Mr Barval: This wine is inspired by the white wine blends of the Northern Rhone Valley in France. 77% Viognier 23% Marsanne. The hot and sunny 2024 season is reflected clearly in this wine. This wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered and a harmless sediment may remain.  Hand-picked.  Basket pressed and low production (Only 3000 bottles made). 

Tasting Notes

Pronounced and intense floral perfume, ripe stone fruit and sweet spice notes abound. This wine also displays a wonderful texture with balance and fresh acidity.

Plaudits

73/27% viognier/marsanne, whole-bunch pressed to used French barriques, fermented wild and, while it spends 10 months in oak, only three months is on fine lees, which means it retains a certain liveliness and just the right amount of texture. Some stone fruit and citrus, fresh herbs, a hint of honeycomb. 92 Points. James Halliday.

Sully Says

Something completely different from Rob, but still has that "wow" factor. I reckon it's way better than the 92 points from Halliday would suggest.

About Winery

One of my favourites. In Margaret River’s south along Caves Road, not far from the towering Karri Forrest, and only kilometres to the sparkling ocean at Redgate Beach.
Rob Gerahadi honed his skills in Italy and has taken all his knowledge, condensed it into some finely tuned skill, and spun out some small quantity, high quality wine that you will want to get your hands on.
The philosophy here is a little different. It’s not so much about the single-vineyard of the site but accessing the quality fruit (so the chardonnay is from the Karridale region and the cabernet is from the WIlyabrup). You are essentially getting the best fruit to make the best wine from the best wine maker.
Everything about Mr Barval is quality. Their wines are made in small volumes and often sell out. It’s not wine you will see in many (or any) bottle shops.
