Wild Duck Creek Spruce Roussanne is an Australian white Rhône that shows lifted aromatics, a textured medium-bodied palate, and a crisp, mineral finish. Expect pear and white-flower aromatics with citrus lift, balanced by stone-fruit flavors and a subtle waxy richness. A versatile match for seafood, poultry, and soft cheeses; best within 2–5 years of vintage.
