This has to be one of my favourite white wines I stock. Roussanne, native to the warmer regions of France’s Rhone valley, is a relative newcomer and still very rare in South Africa. There are fewer than 10 South African producers and we are proud to be ranked amongst the top. Peach and apricot aromas with a hint of baked apple. This is a medium bodied wine with citrus, white peach and creamy flavours that envelop the palate. The wine has a lovely texture with a long finish and fresh acidity keeping it vivacious and vibrant.

When totally dry, it was pressed into oak barrels to complete malolactic fermentation. The wine matured for 14 months in small French oak barrels of which, roughly 30% were new. A small percentage of Shiraz was added to the blend. Only 2192 bottles were produced.
