Vermentino 2021

Vermentino is widely planted throughout the Mediterranean, often along the shore lines of both coasts and islands, where it produces bright clean lively wines with classic sea spray and wild herb characters. However, it is in the mountains on the island of Sardinia where it is considered to produce some the best wines. Here the wines are richer but still with elegance and an ability to have earthy mineral spectrum.
These wines provided the inspiration for our Vermentino which was grown on the slopes of Mount Canobolas.
Winemakers notes: The grapes were whole bunch pressed and the juice drained directly into older.
French barrels for fermentation.
The resulting wine was left on lees in the barrels for six months before course filtration and bottling.
Tasting notes: This wine is pale yellow in colour with bright green tinges. The wine has aromas of fresh fruits, spice and herbs.
The palate is flavoursome with salinity, slight phenolic bitterness and stony spectrum finish.
This wine is ideal for consumption now and will cellar well for 2 to 4 years.
 A great wine for medium weight dishes with herbs and spices. The perfect wine with grilled sardines.
