Tasting Notes

Aroma

White blossoms, crushed gravel with ripe stone fruit notes and hints of lees-derived complexity.

Appearance

Medium straw with an olive-green rim and brilliant acidity.

Palate

Orange fruits explode with hints of marzipan on the palate and are complexed by a touch of ginger spice. There is a great mineral core with lovely gravelly texture and a racy finish.

Vinification

The fruit was gently whole bunch pressed and left to settle overnight prior to racking. The juice was gravity fed into older French hogshead barrels in our underground cellar where wild fermentation took place. It was left on light lees to develop further complexity for 7 months prior to bottling in October 2024.

Vintage Notes

This Roussanne was carefully grown at our winery vineyard in Werribee. A cool and wet spring set moderate crops. The trend continued into summer allowing grapes to ripen slowly with lots of concentration. The grapes were hand harvested in the cool of the morning at optimum flavour ripeness.

Food Matching

Baked whole flathead, Thai jungle curry.

    Such a distinctive wine. I’m a fan, thanks to its honey and hay aromas, burnt butter and ginger powder. It’s a little smoky with stone fruit and creamy lees. It has volume but it's not overwhelming on the palate, with a neat tug of phenolics and acidity on the finish. Points: 93/100

    A wine of waxy and honeyed richness, some mint, pear and nectarine, with a little dusty spice. It’s fleshy and powdery in texture, some creamed honey, but also a sort of saline/nori thing happening, and something of a quinine tang on a finish of solid length. Textural. Interesting. Points: 90/100
