Winemakers Comments: A dry spring preceded and hot summer in The Riverland, which meant vintage was short, sharp and hectic! Whilst not without its challenges, the warm conditions meant that the hardy, heat tolerant Southern Italian varieties that we work with proved their worth, developing primary fruit depth whilst holding natural acidity well. After several years of cooler conditions, the 2025 wines are punchier than recent vintages, defined by bolder flavours without sacrificing thirst slaking drinkability.
Wild fermented in stainless steel, the wine also spent 6 weeks on fine lees, stirred twice weekly, giving it a beautiful, textural edge not often found in Australian Vermentino’s – our reference point is Sardinia and Liguria.
Style/Palate: a more floral, geranium/jasmine bouquet bent this year, green apple fuzzy juicy, lovely length and persistence from the salty oily Vementino-ey-ness. Kerosine, grapefruit, lemon curd, with a crunchy salinity to finish,
Aormas: geranium/jasmine bouquet, green apple, grapefruit, lemon
Food Pairing: Made for summer BBQ – grilled fish and oregano bread please.
