From the Awatere Valley in Marlborough, Marathon Downs crafts wines with clarity and intent. ‘Last Dance’ is a co-fermented blend of Syrah and a touch of Viognier; a classic partnership that brings both structure and perfume to the glass.
Syrah provides the backbone: dark berries, savoury spice, and a gentle, cool-climate tension. Viognier lifts the aromatics, adding a subtle floral note and a silkiness through the palate.
The result is a wine that feels layered rather than heavy — expressive, balanced, and quietly confident.
