The Thelema Sutherland Viognier Roussanne smells heavenly with floral aromas as well as sun-dried apricots and Mediterranean peach. The palate presents fresh taste nuances of ripe summer fruits with a superbly balanced acidity, perfect structure and complexity.

Roussanne is a rather rare white grape variety used mainly in the French Rhône valley, Savoie and Provence. It is often blended to produce floral and mineral wines. In this case Roussanne was blended with Viognier (rather untypical for South Africa) and a very interesting wine was created - far away from the mainstream.

Treatment in the cellar

The alcoholic and malolactic fermentation took place in the barrel. The wine then matured on the yeast for 10 months, with the yeast being stirred every two weeks (batonnage). The wine fermented and matured in second and third filled French barriques.
