2024 Singlefile Great Southern Vermentino
NOTIFY ME WHEN AVAILABLE.
VINEYARD & WINEMAKING
The 2024 growing season in the Great Southern delivered dry conditions, ensuring the fruit developed slowly with strong flavours before an earlier than usual harvest. This vermentino vineyard site is in the Mount Barker subregion of the Great Southern. It consistently produces a style of vermentino with great purity, lovely refreshing acidity and well-developed varietal flavours.
The vermentino grapes were picked and left on their skins for approximately eight hours before being pressed to a small stainless-steel tank. A long, slow, cold fermentation followed to preserve the delicate fruit characters. The wine was racked off its lees straight after fermentation to retain its subtle texture and floral notes. It was bottled in August 2024.
THE WINE
The wine displays hints of sea spray, and subtle summer florals with orange blossom characters. The mouth feel is softly textural with a briny minerality, some savoury tones and lots of natural acidity leading to a crisp citrusy finish. This wine can be enjoyed as an aperitif but shows its best with food and is well suited to complement seafood dishes.
