This was one of Jonathan’s finds from a recent tasting: however, Elena makes great wines so not too surprised and lovely to see a 100% Roussanne!
Whole bunches of Roussanne were picked by hand in the cool, early morning. After gentle crushing the free run juice was cool. Then fermented in stainless steel tanks to retain fresh aromatics in the wine. 12.5%
On the nose, there are fresh and striking aromas of beeswax, mandarin zest, rosemary flowers and green apple, with hints of oyster shell. The palate is crisp and fresh with vibrant acidity that balances the richness and texture of Roussanne. The finish is long and refreshing. 12.5%
