Roussanne is certainly capturing our attention at the
moment. This white wine was much discussed and enjoyed at the Old Mutual Trophy
wine tasting last week by other wine makers and trade. Suddenly the SA plantings are becoming
noticed. It certainly captivated Lynne
with its floral notes and hints of herbs and tea. Its depth and length with
hints of tropical fruit, peach and a little honey on this dry wine made it
something to explore and enjoy now, as it has the freshness of youth. It has
the legs to indicate that it will reward being kept for a few years. A white
wine that should be on restaurant menus as it is very versatile.
