Church & State Wines Roussanne 2019
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2019 Bella Vineyard Roussanne was a whole bunch pressed, and barrel fermented for 21 days, followed by eight months of ageing in French oak. The result is a full-flavoured, green-yellow wine with an attractive honeysuckle floral, exotic nose. The palate is medium to full weight, with more ripe peach and orange streaked with almonds and pears. The rich and smooth texture, with a lovely lees component, keeps the weight and complexity running through the back of the wine. That said, winemaker Arnaud Thierry keeps it all fresh, leaving it, as the French might say, a serious wine of gastronomy. Halibut in an orange sauce comes to mind.Tasted: 17 April 2023Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $29.89 | 750ml | winery online/direct |
