Running With Bulls Vermentino 2011

This is the last of the RWB Vermentino as we know it. A branding change will see the RWB label dedicated to the Spanish varietal Tempranillo. No doubt the Vermentino will pop up somewhere else in the Yalumba portfolio.

The fruit for this wine is sourced from Langhorne Creek, Adelaide Hills and the Barossa. A whiff of lemon zest, citrus notes and some dry grass characters greet you.

The palate has some texture, similar to that of an unwooded Chardonnay in my opinion. A wine that is not as clean as refreshing as I hoped for, but it still is an acceptable drop. Those characteristics from the nose appeared on the palate and there was a gentle tickle of spice leaving a dry finish.

Serve super cold on a hot day with prawn rice paper rolls.
