100% Roussanne. Lemon-gold hue. Seductive and layered aromas lanolin, jasmine, chamomile, and citronella, interwoven with deeper notes of honey, vanilla, and toasted almond. The palate is textured and full-bodied, offering a tapestry of stewed peach, apricot compote, and Bartlett pear, balanced by savory herbs, sandalwood, and marzipan. The amphora aging adds gentle earthiness and preserves freshness, while the oak brings silky warmth and a creamy mid-palate reminiscent of wafer cookies with buttercream. Lingering finish with a slightly oily mouthfeel and flavors of walnut, hazelnut, and herbal tea, leaving a soft echo of spice and stone fruit. This is a dry wine with medium acidity, full body, and a long, elegant finish.
Food Pairing: Seared scallops, lobster, butternut squash, mushroom and goat cheese, gruyere, manchego, triple cream brie or St. Andre, Marona almonds.
