Michael Shaps Roussanne 2021

Roussanne is one of the lesser known white varieties from the Rhone Valley in France. There it is often blended with Marsanne to bring up acidity, and can even be added to some of their famous Syrah. On its own, it showcases bright citrus and stone fruit notes with hints of white flowers. Roussanne is known for having a fuller body, almost oily texture while maintaining excellent acidity. The 2021 vintage allowed for this wine to shine as a varietal wine and should be able to age for about 5-7 years.
