We just followed the birds and the bees to their Honeypot to find Dandelion Vineyard's Roussanne to bottle romance...

This Honeypot Roussanne was made entirely from Helen and Mark O’Brien’s remarkable vineyard.

Whole bunches of hand tended and hand harvested Roussanne was picked in the cool of early morning. After gentle crushing the free run juice was fermented in a stainless steel tank and bottled a few months later under screw cap to ensure the wine is just as our vineyard produced and winemaker intended.

Tasting Notes

Colour

Bright white-gold yet clear and life-giving.

Nose

Redolent and hedonistic, yet wafting and subdued. Beeswax. Rosemary flowers. Mandarin zest. This is a fresh and striking aroma unlike anything you might find in a white wine’s perfume. Beyond exotica.

Palate

Roussanne is a strange beast born from the Rhone Valley. Hence it has a
profundity coupled with something of the bucolic; it has a singing voice but can
also pull a plough. In our example there is linear acidity keeping a crispness which
twists and turns with the variety’s lush fruity texture. There is grip and breadth,
but that acidity beats everything else home. Clean, clear, long and giving.

Drink

Statement #968: we defy you to find a roussanne as drinkable and as refreshing as this example. End of statement. Oh, one other thing: trout poached and served with lemon butter sauce. A few slivered almonds. Deep speaking to deep.
