“The medium straw colour suggests a full-bodied wine. The aromatics are spicy and savory with hints of ripe yellow nectarines. The palate is a lush, rich, medley of tropical fruits. The wine is fresh, vibrant and unlike anything you've ever tasted.”
PETER FRASER, Winemaker
Roussanne is rare in this part of the world. In 2003 we grafted Roussanne over Cabernet Sauvignon roots with vine cuttings from our McLaren Vale neighbor, D'Arenberg. The 2007 is our first vintage release of this rustic white varietal. Our Roussanne is planted on east-facing ridge in the northeastern corner of our single-vineyard estate.
