The 2022 Rusden Chasing Daisies is a Rhône-inspired white blend from Vine Vale in the Barossa Valley, combining Grenache Blanc, Clairette and Roussanne. The nose shows white flowers, green apple and stone fruit, with subtle citrus and savoury notes adding freshness and complexity.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and textural, with orchard fruit and stone fruit balanced by fresh acidity and gentle savoury character. The blend has good weight without feeling heavy, leading to a dry, balanced and persistent finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for drinkers looking beyond traditional Australian white varieties and exploring a textured Rhône-style blend. Enjoy it now or over the next 3–5 years. Ideal with grilled fish, roast chicken, prawns, Mediterranean vegetables, creamy seafood dishes or soft cheeses.
