2023 Iggy Deda Roussanne Marsanne 750ml

Overview

The 2023 Iggy Deda Roussanne Marsanne is a textured and expressive white blend that balances freshness with savoury depth. Drawing inspiration from classic Rhône Valley varieties while remaining distinctly modern in style, this wine highlights precision, purity, and an emphasis on drinkability.

Vineyard and Winemaking

Roussanne and Marsanne were harvested at optimal ripeness to retain natural acidity and varietal character. The fruit was gently pressed and fermented with minimal intervention to preserve aromatics and texture. A period on fine lees enhanced mouthfeel and complexity, while careful handling ensured clarity and balance without overt oak influence.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of pear, stone fruit, and citrus blossom are layered with hints of almond, chamomile, and soft spice. The palate is medium-bodied and supple, showing ripe orchard fruit, subtle herbal notes, and a gentle saline edge. The finish is smooth, savoury, and persistent, with refreshing balance and understated elegance.

Style and Character

This wine sits comfortably between freshness and texture, offering both immediate appeal and quiet complexity. It reflects Iggy Deda’s thoughtful approach to Rhône varieties — refined, expressive, and versatile at the table.

Cellaring and Pairing

Enjoy now for its vibrancy, or over the next 4–6 years as it gains additional savoury nuance. Excellent with roast chicken, grilled seafood, creamy pasta dishes, or Mediterranean-inspired cuisine.
