FAQ Wine Terms 🤔

• Vermentino: A white grape variety native to Italy, known for producing wines with fresh acidity, citrusy fruit flavours, and a slightly herbal character. It’s typically light, crisp, and refreshing, making it perfect for warm weather and seafood pairings.
• Stainless Steel Fermentation: Stainless steel fermentation helps preserve the fresh fruit flavours and bright acidity of the wine, without introducing any oak influences. This keeps the wine crisp and clean, showcasing the true character of the grape.
• Ceramic Egg Fermentation: The use of ceramic egg vessels for fermentation creates a unique shape that promotes natural movement of the wine. This enhances the texture and allows the wine to develop complexity while maintaining its fresh, fruity character.
• Saline Finish: A mineral, slightly salty character on the finish that adds to the wine’s crisp, dry nature. It enhances the wine’s refreshment factor and makes it an excellent food-pairing wine.

Best Serving Temperature

Serve this wine chilled, between 8-10°C, to fully appreciate its vibrant fruit flavours and refreshing acidity. A slightly cooler temperature will also enhance its crisp, dry finish, making it an ideal wine for warm days or casual gatherings.

Food Pairing Suggestions

• Grilled Prawns: The bright acidity and herbal notes of this Vermentino pair beautifully with grilled prawns, especially when marinated in garlic, lemon, and fresh herbs.
• Pasta Salad: A light pasta salad with cherry tomatoes, rocket, and a tangy lemon vinaigrette complements the wine’s fruity and citrusy character, offering a refreshing contrast.
• Fresh Seafood: Perfect with a variety of fresh seafood, such as oysters, mussels, or grilled fish, as the wine’s crispness and saline finish enhance the natural flavours of the ocean.
