Description

Chalmers first brought Greco di Tufo into Australia, and if this wine is anything to go by it's going to be another great addition to the Aussie wine zeitgeist.

It's a remarkable grape in its high levels of natural acidity, meaning barrel time and lees work can add texture and complexity without the wine losing its freshness.

It's a fascinating wine, great with a wide range of food, and super value as well.

"Don’t let the name deceive you. Greco is a variety of Southern Italian origins, not Greek. Now in the capable hands of the First Family of Australia’s alternative variety community, who? The Chalmers? and thriving in their Heathcote vineyard, this is a wine capable of delivering both full throttle flavour and crucial freshening acidity in abundance. It’s like fiano on steroids, and it’s clearly here to stay."
- Nick Ryan (The Australian)

92 Points - "The Chalmers portfolio of white wines is a treasure trove of character drinking. This is another excellent example. Straw in colour, fragrant and effusive. Fennel, honey, orange blossom and oil, apple and brine. It’s crisp and crunchy at once, chatty with various flings of flavour, and different in a good way. There’s also a sherry-like aspect to this, dry sherry that is, and it works." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

An intriguing variety which makes an equally interesting wine and the most recent white to join the Chalmers fray. With bucket-loads of natural acid, these grapes stay vibrant and racy through the warm summer of northern Heathcote, meaning Greco can achieve fruit richness without compromising freshness. The wine is bold and intense with ripe apple and poached quince flavours with a chalky, crunchy backbone. Not for the faint at heart, rather an adventure for the palate, especially at the dinner table.
