One of the very few expressions of single variety Roussanne in Australia, this exotic, food-friendly wine is full of flavour and texture.
Tasting Note Inviting and complex, hints of chamomile tea, oyster shell and lovely creaminess. Wildflowers add a delicate lift, while the soft fragrance of pears and mineral notes of river stone bring an earthy quality. On the palate this wine is rich and textural - soft, creamy and mouthwatering. The savoury character adds an interesting layer that balances the fruit, making the wine feel both fresh and indulgent. Its silky, smooth texture leaves a lingering finish.
Terroir The Roussanne is sourced predominantly from a single vineyard in the Eden Valley region. Situated adjacent to the Yalumba winery on the outskirts of Angaston, this vineyard is nestled near our great Viognier vineyards.
Best Enjoyed With Enjoy with sushi, particularly with lighter, more delicate offerings such as sashimi, lightly seared tuna or crispy tofu.

Accolades

It certainly delivers flavour
A bit brassy perhaps but pebble, stonefruit, grapefruit and honeysuckle characters are given a gently coating of roasted nuts. It certainly delivers flavour. I suspect that this needs another year in bottle to start really working its charms.
Campbell Mattinson

Mouth-filling, textured and creamy
Pretty aromas of white flowers, cooked citrus, grapefruit blossom, pith and nuts. Mouth-filling, textured and creamy, with plenty of stone fruit, spice and pithy acidity. Long and layered.
Aaron Brasher

A great balance between richness and salivating juiciness
Mid lemon hue. Roast chicken chip brine over white and yellow flowers, light beeswax, honeysuckle blossom, brown pears and ground quartz. A great balance between richness and salivating juiciness. A firm intensity underlines a smooth mid-palate leading to acid drive. Manages to avoid any waxy opulence and stay classy.

Samuel’s Collection

The moment our founder, Samuel Smith, planted Yalumba’s first vineyard 170 years ago, a plan was put in motion.

Rooted in history and rich in tales of perseverance, Samuel’s Collection celebrates the founder of Yalumba and honours his spirit of embracing provenance and giving back to the land. The spirit that makes this collection of fine wines possible.
