Tasting Notes

Issy shows her elevated origins early with aromas of lemon verbena florals, alpine herbs, red apple and sea spray. The palate has a lovely complex array of spice, creamy lees richness and tight nectarine too. Oak is there, but very much in the background as its intent. The delicate nature of this fruit looks much better once the new wood has been soaked for a season or two.

Producer Profile

As a keen cyclist all his life, Matt’s love affair with the bike matches his passion for making wine from exceptional sites across the Yarra Valley and elevated, alpine climbs of the Whitlands High Plateau. Rouleur (noun – Roller) was inspired by vineyards Matt discovered while riding – chance meetings with growers and local people that helped turn dreams into reality.

Viticulture

100% fruit sourced from the most elevated Victorian vineyard. With a view toward the snow fields, this alpine site offers such unique character and style, particularly in warmer vintages – and up here, at nearly 900m above sea level, the Burder vineyard thrives. A true cool climate Australian vineyard that is only now starting to be recognised for both quality of fruit and wine.

Winemaking

2 tonnes of handpicked ‘Bernard 95 clone’ grapes picked at optimal ripeness. Hand sorted at the winery before gently pressing to 1 and 2YO Chassin 500L puncheons. After 1 week idling in barrel, wild ferment kicked off and the team managed fermentation at cooler temperatures, kept happy with regular battonage and a small addition of nutrient too.

Goes well with

Versatile and food-friendly, Rouleur Issy’s Upper Yarra Chardonnay pairs beautifully with seafood, roasted chicken, creamy dishes, and refined cuisine.

Cellaring

5 – 7 years with careful cellaring.
