  GRAPE VARIETIES: 100% ROUSSANNE
  ALCOHOL BY VOLUME: 13%
  
  Appearance: Clear, pale gold.
  Clean nose of medium(+) intensity, developing. Aroma characteristics: ripe citrus- and stone fruit (honeyed lemon, peach, apricot) with floral, herbal and mineral notes (white flower, spearmint, sea breeze).
  Dry/off-dry on the palate with medium(+) level of acidity. Medium alcohol, medium(+) bodied. Medium(+) intensity. Aroma characteristics are repeated on the palate. Soft and long in the mouth.
  
  Very good. Slightly livelier than most roussannes of the northern Rhone, but with decent amounts of complexity and concentration intact. With barely detectable amounts of residual sugar and moderate levels of acidity a curious alternative to an Alsace pinot gris or almost any Rhone-valley white. Ready to drink, but will keep. 90-91/100
