Hillsdale Estate Sparkling Kristalwyn 2021

Blended with Vermentino, this comes from only the second producer of the Crystal variety in Australia.

Golden Grove Estate Vermentino 2022

Ray Costanzo would have to be Australia's best Vermentino producer. Find me another winemaker that consistently delivers super high-quality wines with this variety. Try something new this summer and embrace delicious whites like this.

Yelland and Papps Single Vineyard Vermentino 2021

Considered with its game face on, interest comes in buckets - it's the Yelland & Papps way. This is a fantastic take on Vermentino. Take me to Sardinia and feed me all the seafood.

Yelland and Papps Sparkling Vermentino 2019

Vermentino has me thinking of sunshine and seafood but this sparkling carries some weight given the style.

Oliver's Taranga Vermentino 2022

From one of the best Vermentino producers in Australia, this Oliver's Taranga 2022 is screaming for those long lunches with friends that make your cheeks sore from too much laughing. Happiness and extreme refreshment in a bottle - get better.

Mercer Wines Vermentino Bianco 2022

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.

Susuro Farfalla Vermentino 2019

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.

Yelland and Papps Vermentino 2021

Always an interesting wine, this Vermentino sees 200+ days on skins with a portion of whole bunches. It's also one of those wines that cannot be too cold as its beauty will be masked.

Montevecchio Bianco Field Blend 2021

The complexity is in the making not the enjoying. A mega field blend, this slides down all too easily. A wine that is a fab go-to for a casual gathering with friends.

Storm King Wine Co Vermentino 2021

Hello Storm King Wine Co! A side project for Ray Costanzo and his wife Jen, these wines are about small batches that are handcrafted using traditional techniques. Here we have a cracking debut Vermentino release that shows vitality, textural interest and wonderful savoury appeal.

La Bambola Vermentino 2021

Eat Italian food and drink Italian wine - life doesn't need to be complicated. This is a wine made exclusively for Gnocchi Gnocchi Brothers, a chain of Italian Restaurants.

Berton Vineyard Vermentino 2021

A clean, fresh and easy drinking Vermentino charged with refreshment that only asks for $14 for you to indulge in that pleasure.

Hillsdale Estate Rosé 2021

An attractively scented Rosé from a little South Burnett producer, Hillsdale Estate.

Vino Intrepido Pound of Flesh Skin Contact Vermentino 2021

Let's crank the dial with a skin contact Vermentino. Every effort has been made to deliver a wine of textural pleasure, and that's been achieved, but the mid-palate thins out quicker than hoped.

Wren Wines Vermentino 2021

This is such a fresh and enticing wine with refreshment oozing from its veins. I'm picturing sitting by the river with some seafood and absorbing the gentle afternoon breeze. Divine.
