This comes off the oldest Roussanne planting on the estate. There’s one thing you do notice: Peter Fraser did not shy away from colouring the whites, and this has a brilliant golden colour. Skin fermentation, the use of ceramic eggs, whole bunch basket pressing, and maturation in ceramic eggs all contributed to a wine that captures the plush textural richness of this variety in a way that is so impeccably balanced. Loads of creamy, nutty, slightly savoury characters provide a mouth-filling experience. Lovely wine.
