Yalumba Eden Valley Roussanne 2012
Yalumba has championed Viognier since 1980, but has now released its new version of another great Rhône white variety, Roussanne. The 2012 Roussanne was sourced from two vineyards out of the Eden Valley. The first is the Vaughan’s which was grafted in 2007, from Cabernet and Riesling. The second is Yalumba’s Eden Valley vineyard which was planted in 2008 and 2009. This wine is described as having “aromas of wild pawpaw, white fleshed peach, vanilla custard, cumquat and hints of tea rose.” The palate is “silky yet defined, with stone fruit layered over fresh grapefruit acidity and a fine powdery texture.”
