Roussanne Marsanne 2024

Our 2024 Roussanne Marsanne blend is a dry, medium-bodied white wine with a beautiful medium lemon-yellow colour. The nose jumps out of the glass with notes of white peach and orange zest. The palate follows with flavours of lemon curd, quince, lavender and refreshing stone fruits. A quarter of this wine spent four months in oak with lees stirring, and the resulting richness adds an intriguing dimension of weight and structure. This is an elegant and graceful wine, with a refined acid profile that allows the brightness of the fruit to shine, and the oak profile provides the perfect structure. Aging this wine will allow for the development of the fantastic secondary flavour characteristics typical of the Marsanne grape - look for marzipan, honey and caramel if you are able to set the wine down for four to five years. This wine drinks well now, but will benefit those willing to wait till 2029 or so before opening. Pair this wine with all types of rich and hearty dishes, such as mushroom risotto, grilled citrus-marinated shrimp or bouillabaisse.
