St Huberts Roussanne 2005
Rather evolved and funky, this long, chalky and faintly mineral dry white has a smoky, reductive bouquet whose scents of honeysuckle and lavender overlie suggestions of cloves, lanolin and cinnamon. Finishing with well-integrated meaty, savoury qualities, its juicy palate of citrus and melon flavour has appealing fineness and balance.

Winery
St Huberts
St Huberts was redeveloped in the late 1970s. It shares its name and much of its identification with one of the three grand properties that dominated Yarra viticulture in the 1800s, even though its vineyards are planted next to, and not on the original St Huberts site. Today it's one of another group of three, since with Yarra Ridge and Coldstream Hills, it is owned by Treasury Wine Estates. As its current releases illustrate, its wines are classically styled, restrained and elegant, with pure youthful fruit qualities left to develop slowly in the bottle. A delightful exception to this is the complex and rather funky 2014 Roussanne, which is absolutely ready to enjoy.
