Shop Review: Ugni Blanc, Rolle. Château Sainte Roseline is a very ancient
Abbey (XII century). Founded by a hermit
named Roubaud who, seduced by the beauty of the place, calmness and presence of
an abundant source, decided to retire. Roseline,
daughter of the Marquis de Villeneuve, Lord of the Arcs, was the Mother
Prioress of the Abbey from 1300-1329. Very
pious and generous, it marked strongly the local population and it is natural
that gave the place its name.
My Review: I’m not sure exactly how I’m supposed to
translate the above into a description of the wine, so I am relying solely on
my own nose and taste buds here. This
wine is pale gold in color. It has a
slightly citrusy aroma, with predominantly lemon smells. Upon tasting it, it was tart and dry with a lemony
taste.
I had this wine
alone without any food.
