Description
Here Damon Koerner puts an interesting spin on an already interesting variety. This is a Vermentino with some attitude.
He use a canny combination of skin contact and ageing in old oak to bring extra layers of complexity to a variety often thought of as mono-dimensional.
This is smashability writ large and arguably the finest example of Vermentino in the country.

"For such a light weight (10.5% alcohol) and modest skin contact, there’s so much flavour and texture here... A thirst-slaking nature, a true palate resetter, but wonderfully evocative of the variety, in its own unique and complex style. Bravo."
- Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

- DSDr S.Verified ReviewerWine Knowledge Level Cork Dork2 years agoWine Knowledge Level Cork DorkRated 5 out of 5 starsThirst-slaking, textural and tangy cracker
I love this wine. It transformed my view of Vermintino and its potential in the right hands, like the Koerner Bros. Scented nose, brushed citrus skin, lemon drop. Textured and tangy palate, equal parts saline, beeswax and nectarine/sour lemon, with the right shot of acid on the finish. If you like Luis Seabra (DD importer of the year recently), you’ll love this. A G’n’T drinker’s white.
- JWJosh W.Verified BuyerWine Knowledge Level Enthusiast6 years agoWine Knowledge Level EnthusiastRated 5 out of 5 starsSavoury and smashable
Has real heft, and is as voluptuous as any vermentino I’ve had. Deliciously creamy and herbaceous textural composition, which is cut by a crazy-refreshing, laser edge acidity. Savoury all day. Equal parts classy and interesting, and one of those wines that you shortpour your guests on so you can have more.
