Chalmers Vermentino

Background

"2022 Chalmers Vermentino is 100% Vermentino from the Chalmers vineyard in Heathcote on rich, red Cambrian soil, sitting 150-170m above sea level. Chalmers came out with AustraliaÕs first Vermentino wine in 2004 and itÕs since become a trademark line in the range, their Ôgo-toÕ white. There are now more than 100 winemakers working with the grape across this country and itÕs no wonder when it loves the sunshine and makes such delicious wines with ultimate drinkability. Chalmers Vermentino is a truly unique iteration of the Mediterranean grape, a crisp and refreshing drink with white florals, soft stonefruit and a lick of saltiness, perfect for the Australian al fresco lifestyle. Handpicked fruit was whole bunch-pressed and wild fermented in stainless steel before the wine sat on less for five months. No acid adds. Vegan friendly."

Tasting Note

"Clean and crisp, this Vermentino shows pine nut and native floral notes, white stone fruit and Meyer lemon with an overall chalkiness and saltbush tang leaving you wanting more."
