Heartland Vermentino (2023)

Produced from a small parcel of 2023 Vermentino fruit by winemaker Ben Glaetzer at Langhorne Creek, South Australia, every mouthful of this delicate wine is energising and inviting. It tastes of a salty pink grapefruit core with hints of green mango at the back while elderflower, lemon pith, white almond and freshly brewed camomile tea leap up on the nose. This is a classic drop to pair with any meal or savour its refreshing taste as is.

Vermentino originally hails from Italy's Liguria region and the Mediterranean Island of Sardinia. It has been grown in Langhorne Creek for around 30 years. Langhorne Creek is an ideal location for Vermentino with its maritime conditions. Look for a refreshingly aromatic and bright wine full of citrus , pear and lemon peel. Heartland Vermentino has a sea spray character that the wine is known for with a mouth-watering, zesty, long finish.

Heralding from 20 year old vines, Ben cold fermented in closed tanks for 12-14 days and then it spent a few months on lees.
