Yelland & Papps Single Vineyard Roussanne 2024

The Barossa Valley is marvellously well suited to Rhône red varieties – we all know that – and now we are seeing more producers embrace Rhône whites. This is a top example, all honeysuckle, wildflowers and citrus wrapped up in a warm textural hug. Comes to life in high aromatic scents of citrus blossom, honeysuckle, spring wildflowers, citrus and lightly spiced apple. It’s a textural wine, moving smoothly, creamily, across the tongue bringing a mix of gentle savoury almond amid flavours of ripe apple, pear, citrus, quince and spice. It’s a subtle effect which runs deep . . . very Roussanne.
