Rusden Rocky Valley Road Trousseau 2019 (6 Bottles) Vine Vale, Barossa Valley

$238.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

The road out the front of Rusden was a gravel track when I was a kid. In summer, the white sand would blow over it when the council grader hadn’t visited for a while, which made it a treacherous affair negotiating the sandhills and potholes on our treddlies from the top of Rocky Valley Road down the hill to the family farm. At the entry to our property we’ve established a small plot of Trousseau, we think it’s well suited to the alluvial sand and cooling afternoon breezes that make Vine Vale such a unique terroir.

Tasting Notes

Intense nose with lifted black fruit, star anise, eucalyptus and faint cedar tones. The palate is all black fruits with cherry, currants and some plum giving way to ‘Amaro’ type herbal qualities. Lovely acid line keeps the palate tight and long with dusty tannins to finish.

About Rusden

Our vineyard is in Vine Vale, our terroir is deep white sand over red clay. We believe that Vine Vale is the most versatile and consistent grape growing district on the Barossa Valley floor.

Our wines have a unique character with balance and structure. They are fruit driven because we believe in our vineyard and we want you to taste the unique flavours in the wines of this particular site. Our range of wines has an obvious house style because they are all made and grown the same way in the same soil.

We believe that we are custodians of the land. Our job is to care for it as best we can and pass it down from one generation to the next. We also pass down the traditions that were taught to us by our forebears.

We tend the vineyard by hand, and more recently as our winery has grown, we adhere to traditional methods in the cellar. Our focus is on traditional Barossa varieties and blends, however we are not afraid to give different varieties a go as Australia’s wine industry is still in its infancy.
