Roussanne Wine

Roussanne wine, originating from the Rhône Valley in France, is a white grape variety known for its aromatic and full-bodied characteristics. It is believed to have been cultivated since the middle ages, making it one of the oldest grape varieties in the region.

Roussanne wines are typically golden in colour and exhibit a complex profile of flavours. On the palate, they offer notes of pear, honey, and apricot, along with a hint of spice and floral undertones. The wine has a rich texture with moderate acidity, making it a versatile option for pairing with a variety of dishes.

While Roussanne is primarily grown in the Rhône Valley, it has also found success in other regions around the world. In particular, California in the United States has become known for producing exceptional Roussanne wines. Additionally, Australia's McLaren Vale and South Africa's Stellenbosch regions have also shown potential for producing high-quality Roussanne wines.
