Mischa Roussanne 2010 - The first Mischa White Wine


We are proud to announce the release of the Mischa Roussanne 2010!!!

After many years of dedicated work in their vineyards and cellar the Barns family is proud to release the Mischa Roussanne our first Mischa white wine. This rich, full and complex wine with floral flavours of pear, herbal tea and ripe fruit notes will age well, with the floral notes evolving into more complex, nutty and mineral characters over time, giving this unique wine at least five to ten years bottle aging potential. We sincerely trust that you will enjoy the fruits of our efforts!

Roussanne:

In the Northern Rhone the variety is used in blends with Marsanne to make white Hermitage wines, it is also used as a component of the red wines of Chateauneuf du Pape. Roussanne is becoming increasingly popular in several other regions of Southern France including Provence and the Languedoc and Roussillon wine regions. It is also a favourite variety among the 'Rhone Rangers' of California, and there are some plantings in Northern Italy.

The aromas of Roussanne are often likened to those of herbal tea and pears. With age the floral notes in the aroma are replaced with more complex characters. Like its sister this variety ages very well, give it five or even ten years bottle age.
