Marion's Vineyard, overlooking the Tamar River at Deviot in northern Tasmania, is planted with some rather unusual grape varieties, several of which are blended here to produce a very refreshing and food-friendly wine that we paired with a selection of tapas plates. The grapes involved are Muller-Thurgau, muscat and gewurztraminer and the end result is a floral, quite dry field blend with some honeyed fruit character and hints of musk and Turkish delight. The flavours are intense (the vineyard dates back to 1979) and this is well worth seeking out for lovers of the unusual. $25. www.marionsvineyard.com.au.
