Tasting Notes
For the Austral this year, we co-fermented a blend of Roussanne, Marsanne, and Viognier together in a barrel. The result is a seamless, rich wine. We layered tank-fermented Grenache Blanc and Roussanne for brightness while a touch more of Viognier from barrel brought ripe stone fruit and texture.
Blend
48% Roussanne, 38% Viognier, 8% Marsanne, 6% Grenache Blanc
Aging
Grenache Blanc and Rousanne were aged in stainless steel to highlight the bright fruit flavors, with a touch of Viogner from the barrel.

2017 Limited Release Roussanne
Capturing the character of Roussanne can be difficult. It is a delicate, difficult variety to grow and ripen, so sometimes it is better to simply embrace the chaos and let Mother Nature take over. The result is a wine of citrus and lime, with a creamy palate. - Rattlesnake Hills

2014 Limited Release Austral Red Wine
The combination of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre is joined by Cinsaut, which refines and brightens the complex palate. Partially fermented and aged in concrete tanks, weaving threads of pure fruit throughout is spiraling depth; focused tannins and exotic spice make this red wine a sensory delight. - Yakima Valley
