Winemaking
Vermentino’s spiritual home is in Italy, where many believe it was their gift to the wine world. It’s ability to thrive in hot and dry climates makes it perfectly suited to our sun-drenched vineyard in the Riverland resulting in a wine laden with stone fruit, citrus and vibrant acidity. Once physiological flavour ripeness is achieved, harvest was undertaken in the cool of the night to retain fruit vibrancy, prior to transport to our winery. Upon arrival, the fruit was destemmed and chilled enroute to our bag press, where the free run portion was retained, clarified and inoculated with an aromatic yeast selected to maximise varietal expression. Once dry, the parcel was aged sur lie for 2 months to enrich mouthfeel and promote aromatic fruit forwardness.
