Chalmers Vermentino 2023
Wines taste best when shared with friends!
The Chalmers family was justly named 2014 Viticulturist of the Year by Gourmet Traveller WINE. Their commitment to innovation and excellence has made them a pivotal force in the Australian wine scene for more than 20 years. Bruce and Jenni began growing grapes in the 1980s, with their vineyard at Euston developing into one the largest and most diverse privately owned vineyards in the country.
Their nursery business was responsible for importing a selection of around 70 new clones and varieties, many of which are now used in the production of Chalmers' Italian variety wines. Since selling the original vineyard in 2008 the family has established two new sites: one in Heathcote, henceforth responsible for all Chalmers wines, and one at Merbein where the family will continue to experiment with new varieties and clones.
Vermentino is such an easy style to like. Sweet minerals and salt, good presence, bitter lemon notes on the finish. This won't cellar long-term but that's not the idea.
"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." 93pts | Campbell Mattinson | Wine Companion
