McLaren Vale
TASTING NOTE
The 2025 McLaren Vale Vermentino displays a pale straw hue with subtle green highlights. The nose is lively and aromatic, offering bright citrus, green apple, pear, and delicate floral notes, complemented by hints of fresh herbs and a touch of minerality.
On the palate, it is crisp and energetic, with zesty acidity, vibrant stone fruit flavours, and a clean, mouth-watering finish. Light-bodied yet expressive, this Vermentino balances purity and texture beautifully, making it a refreshing and elegant wine, ideal for early enjoyment or summer dining.
RRP $25
Fermented on skins for 4 days then basket pressed to seasoned French oak for 6 months to finish fermentation. Sitting on fine lees, no stirring. Vegan friendly.
Pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, grilled prawns, calamari, or light fish dishes, as well as citrus-marinated chicken, crisp salads, and soft cheeses, enhancing the wine’s zesty acidity and vibrant, refreshing character.
93 points – Sam Kim (Wine Orbit)
“Pristine and brightly expressed, the wine shows crisp apple, fig, lemongrass, and lime peel aromas on the nose. The palate is equally appealing with excellent vibrancy and juicy fruit intensity, beautifully structured by zesty acidity, making it mouth-watering and fabulously drinkable.”
