Wine Description
Our very first vintage of Vermentino grown and made here in Australia was in 2004, since then it has become our trademark go-to white wine leading the way for many wineries around Australia who now make this wonderful variety. It was very clear to us in the early days that varieties like Vermentino were the key to sustainable wine making in Australia, although grown in a warm to hot climate like Heathcote, it retains beautiful freshness, clean aromatic aromas all at relatively low alcohol levels, a wine that looks and drinks like it comes from a cool climate.

Whole-bunch pressed, wild ferment, 6 months on lees in stainless steel. Joyously fresh and vital, vermentino is a celebration of everything citrusy and acid-bright. It's all about pithy lemon, grapefruit, lemon sorbet and crunchy, fresh cut green apple as it moves at speed across the palate. It's got energy to burn, neatly cut in lemony acidity that rocks. Crisp, dry, delicious.
