Small Victories Vermentino 2021

Share

Spring in your step, energy, vibrancy. This the common theme with this version of vermentino. So excited to see this variety thriving on Australian shores. From nose to palate this wine is literally singing a loud song out of the glass – ripe limes, soft kiwi fruit, white pepper. The mouth coating palate is lit up by bold citrus components – more pink grapefruit vibes here, and it has this classic salty purity & texture that makes for one harmonious finish. A wine to keep coming back to, a wine I’d happily sip solo, but if you had some pacific oysters handy I’m definitely in, no dressing needed!
