Yangarra Estate - Roussanne 2024

Intrigued by this rare golden beauty, whose origins lie in the Rhône Valley of southern France, Yangarra has been producing Roussanne since 2007. The wine offers a captivating combination of fragrance, power, and savory texture, with great potential for aging for those willing to wait. However, it may also show more immediate exuberance, with lively notes of pithy, gingery stone fruit and rooibos. Relying as much on a chewy backbone of phenolics as it does on its noticeable freshness, this wine is very good and strongly suggestive of its potential.
