Tasting Notes

• Colour: Pale straw with a youthful green tint
• Aromatics: Lifted green pear, freshly squeezed lime and white citrus florals, with a subtle mango-like tropical note and underlying mineral purity
• Palate: Crisp, fine and energetic, showing zesty lime, crunchy apple, citrus and pear. The fruit is beautifully balanced by refreshing acidity and a clean, precise finish.

Accolades

94 Points – Ray Jordan, Western Australian Wine Critic

“Pure, precise, lively Swan Valley vermentino. It comes from a single block right on the river. On the nose, you get a subtle combination of freshly squeezed lime and some light mango-like tropical aromas. Beautiful, crisp, fine flavours on the palate, with a little citrus and pear. Lovely balance and lovely drinking now.”

FAQ Wine Terms 🧐

❓ What does Vermentino taste like?

Vermentino is generally a fresh, aromatic white variety with citrus, pear and orchard-fruit flavours. It often has vibrant acidity, a gentle savoury quality and a clean, mineral finish.

❓ What does mineral mean when describing wine?

Minerality describes a clean, stony or lightly saline sensation rather than a literal mineral flavour. In this wine, it contributes freshness and precision alongside the citrus and pear fruit.

A riverblock is a defined parcel of vines situated close to a river. This Vermentino comes from a single block beside the Swan River, helping give the wine a clear sense of vineyard and regional identity.
