Rusden’s Rocky Valley Road Trousseau 2022 is a rare Barossa expression of the Jura variety, showcasing delicate spice and bright acidity. It’s a must?try for enthusiasts of uncommon red wines.
A dedicated block at the farm gate produces Trousseau on sandy alluvial soils. Hand?picked fruit is fermented in open bins and matured in old oak to preserve vibrancy.
This Trousseau stands out for its “sweet vs sour” tension. Perfect for sommeliers and adventurous drinkers hunting niche grape varieties.
Winemaking: Spontaneous fermentation, gentle basket pressing and six months in seasoned oak barrels to balance fruit and acidity.
Pairing Suggestions: Duck breast with cherry sauce, ratatouille, aged Manchego cheese.
Tasting Note: The nose offers black fruit, star anise and cedar. The palate combines spice, black tea and fruit cake with a fine liquor?soaked berry finish.
