Winemaker Notes
Aromas of talcum powder, a squeeze of lemon over fresh fish, mandarin, fresh honey and oyster shell. On the palate tight lemony acid, fresh honey florals on the back palate, touch of fruit tingle on the finish. Light & fresh.

Some fresh, stony nuances, ahead of lemon blossom, cut grass and melon. The palate is crisp, dry and zesty.
A fantastic, aromatic white grape that grows with great success in Sardinia, Tuscany and in lesser proportions on the island of Corsica. Somm Secret—Vermentino is thought to be genetically identical to Liguria’s Pigato grape and Peidmont’s Favorita. It comprises a large proportion of the whites in southern France where it is called Rolle.
Known for opulent red wines with intense power and concentration, McLaren Vale is home to perhaps the most “classic” style of Australian Shiraz. Vinified on its own or in Rhône Blends, these hot-climate wines are deeply colored and high in extract with signature hints of dark chocolate and licorice. Cabernet Sauvignon is also produced in a similar style.
Whites, often made from Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc tend to be opulent and full of tropical, stone and citrus fruit.
