The Chalmers family was justly named 2014 Viticulturist of the Year by Gourmet Traveller WINE. Their commitment to innovation & 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.
"Whole-bunch pressed, wild fermentation, six months on fine lees in stainless steel. One of the early believers in vermentino and still one of the best makers, Chalmers captures the crisp vibrancy of fruit/acidity and the pithy citrus intensity and touch of phenolic bitterness that so lights up the taste buds with this variety. Makes a statement with citrus on aroma and palate in lemon and grapefruit, pith and peel, green apple, pear skin and dusty, light florals. Keeps things taut, brisk and super fresh from go to whoa." 93pts | Jeni Port | Halliday Wine Companion
