Roussanne is also a Rhone grape, it has high acidity and a very distinctive aroma of fine herb tea. It is capable of making fine wines as a varietal which,due to the high acidity, age well in the bottle. It is,however,more usually blended, especially with the marsanne, in which combination it contributes acide to complement the marsanne's body. Yeringberg,which has been producing wines since 1863 in the Yarra Valley, produces a marsanne- rousanne blend.
