Palate

The mouthfeel is rich and viscous with acacia tannin intensity.

Aging

The 2018 Roussanne was our first year fermenting and aging the Roussanne in a French Acacia Puncheon. Acacia comes from the Black Locust Tree and contributes a linearity and focus to the wine.

Appearance

The Barrel Fermented Roussanne is limpid with a light yellow hue.

Food Pairing

Serve the Barrel Fermented Roussanne with crab, scallops, halibut, paella, and yellow Thai curry.
