Description

The ever-adventurous guys at Chalmers Vineyard have brought in the first ever Falanghina into Australia.

It's a hardy white grape that is mostly to be found in Campania in southern Italy. It thrives in warm climates, still maintaining great raciness and bite.

Citrus oil, almond, some nectarine richness on the palate - a great debut release. Look forward to seeing more Falanghina soon...

93 Points - "Bitter lemon, almond meal, tangerine to quinine, a bitter punctuation to a long, leesy finish. Compact, pungent and gritty. Mid-weighted, vibrant and salty. Lovely length. This is a very good showing. Falanghina is a very late ripener, particularly well suited to this neck of the woods it seems. Drink or hold briefly. Screw cap." - Ned Goodwin MW (James Suckling)

93 Points - "Wheat and stone-fruit flavours put on an entirely convincing display here. This is a very attractive white wine. Exotic flowers, pulpy fruit, heaps of texture and enough character to keep you interested. Seek this out. It's very good." - Campbell Mattinson (Halliday Wine Companion)

    Awesome!

    Such a great wine and so important for the future.

Chalmers Falanghina is the first commercially released Falanghina in Australia. At Chalmers we have a serious love for this promising variety for its complexity, drinkability and potential in the future of the Australian soils and wine industry.

This attractive wine is aromatic and racy, with notes of orchid and lime donating the nose. White stones and a persistent, tangy palate result in a wine with balanced tension and fresh appeal, think similar to a Riesling. Pair with aromatic, zesty dishes with an oily component such as Thai curry or Gyoza.
