Description / Reviews

// 70% Roussanne, 30% Grenache Blanc

"A Rhône inspired white which takes the richly textured Roussanne and blends with the crisp, green apple and citrus of Grenache Blanc to create a wine of real balance and complexity." - Thistledown, Winemaker

"Pale lemon yellow colour. Heady nose of ripe peach, honeysuckle and marzipan all leaping from the glass. Full bodied with a vibrant and rich-stone fruit core that is layered with green almond, fennel seed and honeysuckle complexities. Great length, all carried by fine, persistent acidity and there’s a fuzzy grip that focuses and finishes the end with a lovely drying harmony." - 95 Points, Stuart Knox, The Real Review 

"This is a fresh yet complex offering. It’s distinctly saline, with a seaweed-like character in with lime, apple and melon, some fresh mint and lemon thyme, and maybe a little truffle. Medium-bodied, crisp and chalky, that seaweed umami thing is quite a theme, along with a little honey and spiced apple. Good wine, here, though you need to like them a little more salty and minty." - 92 Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
