Roussanne Wines

Roussanne is a white wine grape variety originating in the northern Rhone Valley. Its name describes its reddish-gold grape colour when ripped. On its own Roussanne wines are quite herbal and tea-like with displays of intense pear and honey notes. The variety most commonly appears alongside Marsanne in the traditional blend from northern Rhone and it is also used in small amounts in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Besides France, Roussanne grapes are widely used in South Africa, Australia and California.
