This is one of the better Australian Vermentinos to pass the tasting bench.

Water clear, it carries distinctive green melon and cucumber aromatics, a touch of Gardenia florals and a really quite intense, just ripe, stone fruit palate. Surprising concentration and quite prominent, yet ripe, acidity. All spot on and refreshing really – not a bad summer drink (with conviction).
