2024 Roussanne

Winemaking Notes: Roussanne is a varietal not often found on its own. The grape is named after the French word roux (russet) for the its distinctive color at ripeness and is typically used throughout the world in Rhone-style white blends. Even in our own wines we typically blend it with Viognier. This year we had the good fortune of having just enough to bottle a little on its own. We are very excited to share this special wine. Our vineyard provides perfect ripening conditions that result in a uniquely expressive wine with a complex fruit profile and a wide array of subtle herbal and nutty flavors. You'll search a long time to find a wine quite so intriguing and enjoyable. The label features desert globe mallow, which displays orange-colored flowers and blooms locally each spring - just as this wine is released.
