I've seen a couple of Vermentino wines from Victoria's Alpine Valley. They possess a little more density than lighter, fresher styles from other regions. The food-friendly appeal of this release backs up my previous experiences.
It's worth noting that the website says this is an Adelaide Hills Vermentino but the bottle says Alpine Valley. Maybe this wine is not on the website? Anyway, to the wine...
Lemon juice and a soft nuttiness, a fine spice rolls through the mouth. Citrus flower and a touch of yellow stone fruit add interest. But for me, Vermentino is all about seafood and the attractive scent of oyster shell is the clincher to get you in the mood. Oysters or calamari, a squeeze of lemon and a glass of this, yes please.
Drink now.
