Neldner Road Steinborner Marsanne

A beautifully textured and distinctive Marsanne, offering an inviting bouquet of butterscotch, honeyed citrus, ripe stone fruit, white florals and delicate apricot kernel. Richly aromatic without feeling heavy, it immediately shows the depth and character of this classic Rhône variety.

The palate is creamy and phenolic, yet remarkably fresh rather than oily, with generous flavours of stone fruit and honey lifted by a gentle line of lemony acidity. White peach and subtle savoury notes reminiscent of ham hock emerge towards the finish, while persistent phenolics provide texture and drive right through the palate. Rich, savoury and beautifully balanced, this is a compelling expression of Marsanne with impressive length.

The story behind Neldner Road

Neldner Road is the latest chapter from Dave Powell, the legendary Barossa winemaker behind Torbreck and, more recently, Powell & Son. Based in the Barossa, Dave has spent more than four decades working with some of the region’s most exceptional old vineyards, and Neldner Road brings that experience together with a renewed focus on vineyard character, freshness and beautifully balanced wines.

The wines draw on old-vine fruit from the Barossa and Eden Valleys, with traditional winemaking techniques and a hands-off approach allowing each site to speak for itself. The result is classic Barossa wines with plenty of depth and character, but also freshness, finesse and a real sense of place — a new chapter from one of the region’s most respected winemakers.
