Wine Family: The Trailblazers
Tasting Notes:
A luminous straw hue with a hint of yellow, this wine reveals elevated aromas of honeydew, rockmelon, preserved lemon, and macadamia. The palate is concentrated with layers of melon, yellow peach, and macadamia, offering a creamy texture complemented by a focused acidity that underscores its dense and powerful profile. Exemplifying complexity and balance, this wine is a sophisticated expression of its varietal.
Behind the Name:
The first crop of Roussanne from the 2000 vintage was covered in tiny 'Money Spiders'. Popular belief is that kindness to these creatures will bring good luck, so Chester refrained from sending the spiders to their death. By the next year the Money Spiders had relocated, making the first release of this wine in 2001.
