Grape: 100% Roussanne. Region: South Africa> Western Cape> Stellenbosch. Notes: 8 months in neutral French oak, Sur-lie.
Description: The Foundry was established after Chris Williams studied under Meerlust estate in South Africa and Michel Rolland in Bordeaux. This is a well crafted wine using Roussanne, which is a high-quality varietal from the Rhone valley, France. Roussanne is rare in South Africa but the weathered granite soil in Helderberg creates an excellent source for Roussanne to thrive.
A bouquet of apricot, peach tree, and white floral. The palate is dry and display bright acidity and good alcohol balance. Round mouthfeel with a good core of dried-fruit, brioche, and minerality.
Food pairing: Ham, pork, poultry, smoked fish, vegetable dishes, risotto, veal, etc.
