This 2025 Vermentino from Ferguson Valley in Western Australia is a bright and sophisticated expression of this coastal variety, capturing both freshness and texture in equal measure. In the glass, it shows a brilliant greenish straw hue with delicate luminosity.
The nose is lifted and aromatic, revealing notes of citrus blossom that bring a sense of purity and vibrancy. On the palate, the wine is beautifully textural, offering flavours of crisp red apple layered with a distinctive savoury edge, culminating in an elegant umami sea spray finish that speaks to its coastal influence.
Careful winemaking underpins its finesse: gently crushed and pressed to tank, naturally clarified, and fermented with a touch of turbidity to enhance mouthfeel. Maturation on yeast lees adds depth and complexity, before a light fining and filtration preserves its clarity and freshness.
An ideal companion to seafood, this Vermentino pairs effortlessly with grilled prawns, fresh oysters, or a light goat’s cheese salad.

"This bright and fresh Vermentino offers lime zest, green apple, jasmine and a hint of sea spray. The palate is crisp and energetic, showing zippy acidity and fine mineral drive.
Citrus and herbal notes intertwine seamlessly, giving both refreshment and complexity. The finish is clean, savoury and lightly lemon citrus. A stylish, textural interpretation of the variety.
A superb expression of region and variety; poised, polished and classically proportioned."

"Vermentino has certainly established itself in some of our warmer regions like McLaren Vale. It is now doing so across in the West and it will be interesting to see if it can reach the same heights in time. The early signs are good. This is certainly a fine example.
The nose reveals attractive notes of pears, lemon curd, crisp green apples, citrus and melon, together with a hint of oystershell. A wine with good intensity which runs the full length, this is well balanced and there is power throughout, matched only by the promise for the future. Love this. A really good Vermentino for enjoying over the next five years."
