This Honeypot Roussanne was made entirely from Helen and Mark O’Brien’s remarkable vineyard. Roussanne has a love-hate relationship with the Barossa as it can achieve some high-highs but also plenty of low-lows. Getting the acidity right is key and Elena is hyper-focused on that vs sugar levels. She also looks to bottle it early maintaining a lot of freshness and lacking the weight that the Rhône white grapes are known for. The result is a mineral-driven style of Roussanne that is a bridge to the Rhône for many.
