See 3 previous Delectable notes. This was my last bottle of the best new world Vermentino I’ve had. Green apple, medium acid. Grand Champion of the Toowoomba Wine Show in 2021 when I was a Judge. Quite delicious - more full bodied than any Italian Vermentino I’ve had. The palate is quite unctuous with mandarin and quince. Even though the winery is in Queensland on the Granite Belt, the fruit comes from the Mildura (NW Victoria) warm region. — 5 months ago
Nose is so seductive. Wow. Violets. Meat, dark berry fruit. Unreal granite and just so expressive. I’m thrilled how great this is. Stunning. Raspberry spice cake. Just sick. 9.6 nose. Smells like God’s Jelly Donut. Palate is juicy, precise and lean. Wow is this slathered with minerals, but seems a bit closed initially. But man is poised, concentrated and slathered with gorgeous minerals. Long floral/berry infused finish. Let’s see how this develops but so fine now. — 2 years ago
Dynamite wine and so different than the Gripa. Awesome nose of rich blackberry fruit, granite and kalamate olive. Palate is juicy and slippery with terrific freshness, energy and granite tones. Ripe, juicy tannins and terrific opulence with great structure and purity. Long and echoing finish with top notch linearity and delineation. You can tell an engineer made this wine which Emmanuel is. This is going to a 9.7 now air air. So integrated and seamless with such vivid and precise black fruits. Fresh and refined. Awesome. — 2 years ago
