Grapes: Chardonnay, Marsanne
Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium acidity, dry
Chardonnay for fruit and Marsanne for texture — an old north-east Victorian pairing that gives more weight and interest than either variety manages alone. The Chardonnay brings stone fruit and citrus and a little acidity; the Marsanne contributes its waxy, lanolin middle and a honeyed depth, so the blend finishes soft and generous rather than crisp. Carlyle is Pfeiffer's approachable label, named for the district near Rutherglen, and the wine is built for the table rather than the cellar. At its best in the first few years while the fruit is lively. Serve it barely chilled, with roast chicken, pork or something creamy.
