FIRST RIDGE VERMENTINO

A cracking Vermentino and clearly one of the standouts of the variety in Australia, with a swag of trophies, gold medals and 95-point reviews behind it.

Fresh pear, pineapple and citrus jump from the glass, with a bone-dry palate showing lemon pith, nectarine and a subtle savoury aniseed edge. There’s also a lovely mineral, almost tonic-like texture that gives the wine extra character and length. Bright, refreshing and beautifully balanced, a seriously impressive Vermentino that more than lives up to the awards.

If you didn't know it was from Mudgee you would swear it was from the sun kissed hills of Tuscany itself
