{"product_id":"2024-yangarra-roussanne","title":"2024 Yangarra Roussanne","description":"\u003cp\u003eYangarra has been obsessed with Roussanne since 2007, and they are easily the benchmark for the variety in Australia. They treat the fruit with real kid gloves, hand-picking the blocks before a super gentle press. For this 2024, they aged it for seven months in older French oak and a clay amphora, which builds up that beautiful, savoury texture they are famous for without masking the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 season was a bit warmer, which gave this wine plenty of upfront muscle and richness. On the nose, it is completely exotic, bursting with poached pear, baked apple, ginger and a hint of manuka honey, alongside this really cool, salty coastal shrub character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, it is wonderfully plush and slippery, but it stays totally fresh. You get heaps of grilled nectarine and grapefruit, but the real magic is the way the natural acidity and waxy grape skins work together to snap the finish tight. It is a big, serious white wine that cries out for food, think hot-smoked trout, pork belly or a rich terrine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Intensity, texture, complexity and ample structure – it’s all there and still with a fresh appeal.
