A very nice example of a white #rhonewine with the body of the #roussanne and the all the richness and spice from #lees and #marsanne #jaboulet — 10 years ago

Tastes exactly as good as a blend of #Roussanne #Viognier & #Chardonnay can get. But seriously: spiced nuts, beeswax, tropical flowers, brioche. #sinequanon #thehoodooman — 11 years ago

Boldly aromatic with layers of stone fruit, lavender honey, crushed flowers and mineral. Unctuous on the palate, very complex and extremely rich, with expressive honeysuckle, peach, white grapes, baked pear and a hint of marzipan. Gorgeous on the finish! #wine #beaucastelblanc #roussanne #heaven — 11 years ago

Chamomile, dry cider, Fino, hazelnuts and sea salt. More skin contact, less new oak this year. Hermitage-like. Ridiculous. #roussanne #stolpmanvineyards — 9 years ago

@Delectable Wine this is the 2017 DeMorgenzon Cape Winemakers Guild Roussanne.

Our first time every at the Cape Winemakers Guild Auction and we will make sure to come back! (Tasting was on 9/28/18).

Fifth wine at the Friday Auction Tasting for the Cape Winemakers Guild and third still white wine. This is made up of 100% Roussanne by Carl van der Merwe from Stellenbosch. Aged for 12 months on the lees prior to bottling. Only 70 cases produced with 50 being auctioned in 2018.

Light greenish yellow in appearance. Rich nose with lovely floral characteristics, followed up by citrus rind, tropical fruits and some spices. Medium acidity (6.5/10) and light plus to medium bodied. A bit buttery in texture with notes of herbs, citrus fruits and some flowers. Long finish. Drink till 2026.

$$ - Tasted at the Cape Winemakers Auction. Average bid at auction was R3,712.00 ($43.72 a bottle) a case. Highest bid was R4,600.00 ($54.17 a bottle) and lowest bid was R3,600.00 ($42.40 a bottle).

Honey, chamomile, toasted hazelnut. Big and rich, but balanced by superb acidity & lower alcohol. Gets better every year! #stolpman #roussanne — 9 years ago

Different from what I am used to, but then perhaps I really need to taste a lot more #Viognier I guess this one may take some time to grow on me.
Floral, fresh pear, kiwi, and honeysuckle. #Guigal #CotesduRhone

2009 is tasting great for so many wines. Subtle nose of baked golden delicious apple, toasted hazelnuts, shortbread, and cloves with a rich, waxy mouthfeel. Lingering finish with medium acidity and similar notes on the palate. Love this small producer! #roussanne #2009 #southard #columbiavalley #washingtonwine — 11 years ago

Wine of the night for many, the facts: made from 80% Roussanne and 20% Grenache Blanc, from vines between 10-40 years old, and a small quantity of the “Vieilles Vignes” cuvee, produced entirely from Roussanne vines of at least 65 years of age. Deep gold in color, this is indeed in the mature stage. A complex and full nose showed layers of almonds, sea breeze, candied citrus and honeysuckle. The palate indeed confirmed the small bit of oxidized notes (sherry like saline) that went very well with the yellow fruits and flowers, full bodied with grace, minerality and good acid cut which no doubt is how it was able to age. — 12 years ago
