The 2022 Seppeltsfield Barossa Vermentino is a white wine made to enjoy now. This Vermentino wine has a lifted nose of verbena, violets and lime leaf, a powerful citrus palate with enticing notes of pear and grapefruit, and a fine structural mineral acid backbone. The palate of this Barossa wine offers a wonderful citrus drive with a core structure of fine mineral acidity with overlying enticing notes of pear and grapefruit zest. Made from a grape variety only in its relative infancy in Australian soils – Vermentino’s traditional home being the Italian island of Sardinia, as well as the Ligurian coast. It has however much potential for success in Australia, given its ability to ripen well in warm climates, low water requirement, and an ability to maintain good levels of acidity.
