Here’s a beaut little white wine that shows the versatility of the Barossa Valley and the variety. On the one hand you get the typically clean and crisp tart pear and lemony zip you expect from vermentino. But then a little winemaking influence edges into the mix of free run and lightly pressed
juice plus some battonage lees stirring to add a degree of texture to the mid palate. The secret is not to overdo the winemaking and in this case it has worked very well.
