2022 MÉTHODE TRADITIONNELLE VERMENTINO

THE STORY

Vermentino fruit was sourced from Chittering at the northern end of Perth Hills wine region.

TASTING NOTES

Hand harvested before chilling overnight the fruit for this wine was crushed and gently pressed before fermentation in stainless steel tank. The base wine carries some of the varietal character of Vermentino such as the lemon pith and citrus flavours which help to produce a great early disgorged, flavoursome yet elegant sparkling. A secondary fermentation was conducted in this bottle (Methode Traditionelle style) to capture CO2 and “sparkle” the wine. After hand riddling and disgorging we present this crisp, dry, apperitif sparkling.

“Vermentino is a variety that certainly suits a crisper and finer aperitif style sparkling wine. Having said that, this warm year has provided good texture and palate richness while retaining that fine and delicate edge. Plenty of apple and pear with a lift of lemon rind citrus. Fine lingering palate.”- 91 Points Ray Jordan
