The hotter climate and perfectly chosen site on Mischa Estate makes for ideal ripening conditions for Roussanne, which is why we’re capable of producing an award-winning Roussanne with each vintage.

A relatively unknown variety in South Africa, Roussanne is typically a difficult to find as a single cultivar, as it is often blended with Marsanne. At Mischa Estate, we love the challenges that Roussanne poses, which is why we take particular pride in this cultivar. It is incredibly difficult to produce and can be very temperamental due to its difficulty in ripening evenly.

ROUSSANNE 2022 QUICK NOTES

APPEARANCE: Clear and bright, with a predominant golden hue.

NOSE: Typical of unwooded wines, enjoy primary aromas of honey, pear and yellow peach with subtle biscuity, secondary aromas.

PALATE: Fresh and zesty, citrusy acidity of orange peel and lemon zest, while delicate honeybush rounds out the palate. As a natural characteristic of Roussanne, a subtle smoothness and oaky undertone balances the acidity.

PAIRING: Delightful on its own, but pairs beautifully with seafood dishes like spicy paella and creamy baked fish, cheese platters of rich, confidence cheeses.

AGEING: Enjoy immediately or cellar for 3 to 5 years.
