The number of emerging varieties sprouting from the Hunter Valley dirt continues to increase. Some work, others not so. Vermentino is one that is rocketing along and this example from Mercer Wines is a ripper. Sunshine and summertime in a glass. Get in on the action I say.
The freshness is what grabs me from the outset. So crisp. So crunchy. It's all white flowers, lemons and lemon juice with a citrusy and ruby grapefruit tang. Smash it poolside or by the beach. Either, large pours will be followed by guaranteed smiles.
Drink now.
