Rouleur Yarra Valley Chardonnay
Rouleur Yarra Valley Chardonnay
£24.95
Tasting Notes
In bottle, there’s a lovely grapefruit pith tang carrying white fleshed nectarine, melon and cashew over hints of flint like reduction. Plenty of mineral acidity is well integrated and supported by a lash of Burgundian oak. A liquorice and anise spice edge adds complexity whilst never losing its cooling acid line.
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
75% Chardonnay, clone p58 from a low yielding, northerly facing 1974 planted vineyard in East Seville. Blended with 25% Chardonnay – same clone in the lower part of the Yarra Valley in Yarra Glen. Perched atop a southerly facing hill, this 30YO vineyard offers a neat contrast to the deeply flavoured old vine fruit from the Upper Yarra Valley.
Goes well with
Buttery Lobster: The classic combination; Chardonnay’s acidity cuts through the butter, while its body matches the lobster’s richness
Cellaring
The latest Rouleur Chardonnay is a wine offering fine layers of complexity that will unfold gradually over the coming 6-12 months, and will surely age well over the coming years for those patient enough to wait. Drink now and comfortably for the next 5 years
