Willem Kurt Vermentino 2025

This is very lifted in its perfume, with sweet jasmine florals hovering above green mango skin, melon, preserved lemon and white peach. Salty tones add dimension beyond the fruit. Clever winemaking here, keeping varietal truth firmly at the fore. The palate is bright and fresh, with a sense of harmony belying its youth – green pineapple, peach, glimmers of kumquat and subtle spice lead to a saline-edged finish of good length, with some green-almond bitterness adding a gastronomic edge. A surge of gentle acidity through the back palate provides a clean wash-down. Well made, varietally true, bright and fresh.
