Esja - Orange Roussanne 2023 - 750 ml

Rattlesnake Hill, Washington

Esja Wines, pronounced "Es-Ya," is a boutique winery based in Washington State, founded by Tanya Bjornsson, a first-generation American born to Icelandic immigrants. The winery's name is inspired by Mount Esja, a prominent mountain range situated north of Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik. Mount Esja provides peaceful and stunning views, symbolizing a delicate yet powerful presence—qualities Tanya aims to reflect in her wines.

This wine shows aromas of ripe stone fruits like apricot and peach, delicately accented by hints of floral blooms and subtle herbal nuances. It beautifully echoes its aromatic complexity on the palate, offering layers of dried apricots, luscious honey, and a gentle nuttiness that adds depth.
