Vermentino
$28.00
The focus during picking Vermentino is to represent that crunchy acidity and the fresh flavour expression of this grape varietal. Picked at a sugar ripeness than allows low alcohol the cool destemmed fruit was pressed immediately and inoculated with a yeast that strain enhancing varietal aroma, elegance and complexity to the final product. Throughout fermentation the acidity level was monitored closely to create that perfect balance of acidity and residual sugar level, then clarified with pea-based protein, filtered and bottled.

Its refreshing character sparkles on the finish, inviting another sip. This light, crisp and fruity wine is perfect for enjoying on its own or paired perfectly with seafood or simply on it's own on a warm afternoon.
