Roussanne 2021 (Aged in new French oak barrels)

A wine to remember! Remarkable wine! 

Bright shining, medium yellow color. Intense varietal aromas completed with the smell of apricot, honey, chamomile, and tints of oak. Fantastic taste, which is soft and crisp. Medium to full body, oily flavors, and integrated oak in the mouth. Unique and very long aftertaste.
