2023 Chalmers Vermentino

Tense and focused with laser like acidity and a zippy feel.

Brilliant water like colour with a faint tinge of green around the edges. Lime juice and Granny Smith apple aromas are trailed by some lemon and flinty mineral notes. Tense and focused with a line of laser like acidity running through its core, the palate has a zippy feel with lemon, lime and Granny Smith apple fruits featured over a dry steely back drop. Crisp and tightly coiled it finishes with a lingering salinity.

Drink over the next 2-3 years.
Alc. 11.4%

Other Reviews…..
This is a vermentino that you should buy and drink. It tastes of citrus and crushed grapefruit, but it's the balance of it, and the mouthfeel of it, and the way the ripeness of the fruit works in so beautifully with the round-edged bitterness of it, that makes it such a source of pleasure. Drink by 2026.
