Iggy Deda Roussanne Marsanne

The Marsanne and Roussanne grapes were hand-picked and whole bunch-pressed separately, with each juice undergoing spontaneous fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks to preserve their fresh aromatics. Midway through fermentation, the juices were transferred to French oak barrels (79% seasoned, 21% new), where they matured for a year, undergoing full malolactic fermentation with occasional gentle lees stirring. After 12 months, both batches met the desired quality and were blended in stainless steel for an additional 7 months of maturation before bottling.

The wine presents a pale straw-to-golden hue, offering layered aromas of pear, lychee, yellow peach, and honey, with added complexity and richness on the nose. Subtle hints of macadamia-like nuttiness emerge. On the palate, it’s voluptuous and creamy, balanced by just enough acidity to maintain harmony. Compared to its predecessor, it’s brighter, livelier, and boasts a longer finish. A versatile, generous wine that’s delightful on its own, yet truly shines when paired with the right dish.
