Discover the best wines made with Roussanne as a single variety or as a blend of Terra Alta.
Aromatic and elegant whites, rich yet lifted by fine freshness, with hawthorn, honeysuckle, apricot, pear, honey, green tea, mineral and herbal notes. Fine ageing potential. Key variety in the great whites of the northern Rhône (Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Saint-Péray) blended with marsanne, and one of the 13 permitted grapes at Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Native Rhône variety.
Southernmost DO of Catalonia south of Tarragona, world kingdom of white Grenache (33% of the planet's white Grenache, 75% of Spain's). Broad, sun-soaked whites with signature notes of ripe pear, yellow peach, white flowers, fennel, anise and a toasted hazelnut touch, a round and warm palate — powerful and high in alcohol. Dense reds of Garnacha Tinta (blackberry, black cherry, garrigue) and Carinena (licorice, spice). Dry, sunny climate, clay-limestone terraced soils.
