Description
Our very first vintage of Vermentino grown and made here in Australia was in 2004, since then it has become our trademark go-to white wine leading the way for many wineries around Australia who now make this wonderful variety. It was very clear to us in the early days that varieties like Vermentino were the key to sustainable wine making in Australia, although grown in a warm to hot climate like Heathcote, it retains beautiful freshness, clean aromatic aromas all at relatively low alcohol levels, a wine that looks and drinks like it comes from a cool climate.
Chalmers Vermentino is a truly unique iteration of the Mediterranean grape, pressed and wild ferment in tank, the 2025 vintage overall produced healthy fruit with good flavour development, retained freshness and nice retention. With lifted fresh aromas and focused notes of lime cordial , sea spray, lychee and grapefruit blossom, its moreish and zesty on the pallet. At 12.1% alcohol, it’s naturally lower with minerality at the fore, a salty mid palate texture and zipping freshness that’s just begging for a plate of oysters natural, and a Vietnamese noodle salad.
