One of the very first wines bottled with Roussanne in Ontario, alongside Black Bank Hill, Jeff had to wait months for the VQA to approve the varietal before he could put the wine in bottle. That tells you just how rare Roussanne is in Ontario.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis blend of almost equal portions of the three sister grapes of the Rhône Valley, Roussanne, Marsanne, and Viognier, was fermented and aged mostly in second- and third-fill French oak barrels. The result is a rich and balanced white blend with truly unique characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOn the nose, aromas of poached pear, orange blossom, marzipan, peach, lemon curd, and ginger. The palate is rich and lifted, showing a perfect balance between alcohol and acidity. Flavours of tropical fruit, including grilled pineapple, are joined by orange marmalade, lemon curd, vanilla, and fruit salad juice. The finish is long, showing great evolution and plenty of oak spice. You definitely need one of these in your cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAnd this bottle is definitely coming with us on our first members’ trip to the Rhône Valley!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e(CWC, 02\/07\/26). 85 cases made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e93pts Carl Boucher | 94pts Rick VanSickle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h4 inline-richtext\"\u003eON Niagara Peninsula St David's Bench VQA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product__text inline-richtext\"\u003eDry Wine | RS: 2.2g\/L | 13.5% ABV | Drink from 2025 to 2030\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product__text inline-richtext\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003esteamed mussels with coconut milk, grilled tuna\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product__text inline-richtext\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Divergence","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52746917511461,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/1984\/6693\/files\/DivMRV23.jpg?v=1783460301","url":"https:\/\/carlswineclub.com\/products\/2023-divergence-bock-vineyard-marsanne-roussanne-viognier-%f0%9f%94%a593pts","provider":"Carl's Wine Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
