Indigo Secret Village Roussanne 2023, Beechworth, AUD $45
Free run juice was transferred directly to barrel and fermented in French barriques and hogsheads: only 10% of the barrels were new.
Pale straw yellow in the glass. Honeysuckle and yellow peach aromatics. Medium weighted, peach and apricot, some subtle grapefruit pith texture and a lift of cumin spice at the edges. Good length, the fine acid keeps it flowing without edges and it glides with grace to the finish. (Screwcap)
