Inspired by the rich, luscious & mineral scented dry whites of the Rhone Valley the 2010Steading Blanc is sourced entirely from our Descendant Vineyard on Roennfeldt Road. Fragrant aromas of acacia flowers, roasted nuts and buttered citrus are neatly balanced with underlying hints of bees wax, minerals, and chalk. The ripe, fleshy barrel fermented Marsanne gives the palate extraordinary richness whilst the Roussanne contributes it's more flinty and austere personality. The result is a seamless wine with a silken texture that can be enjoyed with anything from the sea, particularly with a rich crustacean based sauce.
