Shadowfax Minnow Roussanne 2023 750ml

Roussanne is a grape variety used predominantly for blending in the Northern Rhone, and in wines inspired by that region. I reckon if more people treated this grape the way Shadowfax have, it'd have a much, much higher profile because this one is an absolute ripper. Wild fermented in old oak barrels with 7 months on lees, this wine smells friggin delicious; stonefruit & spice, the palate is silky and decadent, again with the stonefruit and spice above a savoury mineral layer with a crisp and taut finish that screams MORE PLEASE (responsibly!)
