2022 Lismore Cuvee Blanc Estate Reserve

Cuvee Blanc Reserve Cuvee Blanc is a new wine, a blend of 90% Roussanne, 5% Viognier and 5% Chardonnay; the Roussane grafted onto the trunks after the fires two years earlier (the roots are from 2016). Whole bunch pressed and raised for 11 months on the lees. It offers yellow plum, jasmine, broom and orange blossom scents, well-defined and demonstrating the same welcome restraint as the Viognier. The well-balanced palate has grapefruit and tangerine on the entry, a silver bead of acidity, and veins of lemongrass embroidered toward the long finish. Very seductive. Superb expression of Roussanne; this comes highly recommended. 93 points
