Information about "Thelema Sutherland Viognier Roussanne 2024"
Introducing the captivating Thelema Sutherland Viognier Roussanne, a blend that enchants the senses with its floral and fruit-forward character. The aromatic profile features jasmine flowers harmonized with sun-ripened pears and Mediterranean peaches. On the palate, vibrant layers of white peaches and apricots grace the tongue, beautifully complemented by a creamy mouthfeel and delicate almond notes. This wine is a testament to the balance of liveliness and sophistication, offering an exquisite tasting experience.
Roussanne, a lesser-known white grape variety predominantly found in the Rhône Valley, is often blended to create aromatic and mineral-driven wines. This unique pairing with Viognier, seldom used in South African blends, produces a distinctively intriguing wine that breaks away from conventional styles.
Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation occurred in barrel. The wine then matured on its lees for ten months, with bi-weekly bâtonnage. Fermentation took place at 15ºC in second- and third-fill French barriques.
