Ben Haines 'Flowers' Roussanne 2023 | McLaren Vale
$48.00 AUD
Tasting Notes

An explosive, complex, medium-bodied white wine that brings a sluice of primary and secondary flavours with the wildest of aromas and textures.

Combines fresh orchard fruits and white-flowers with more savoury characters of quince, saffron and honeycomb. Velvety in texture, reflective of the ancient sands of Blewitt Springs, with a crunchy, juicy acidity. Lush, deep and a bit luxurious – and so easy to drink.

Producer: Ben Haines Wine
Region: McLaren Vale, South Australia
Grapes: Roussanne
