This Gruner Vetliner by Longview has a brilliant clarity and pale straw colour. Aromas of pear, white pepper and celery notes are evident and the palate is dry and spicy with a lingering finish of white peach, underpinned with lovely refreshing acidity.

The perfect summer red! Pepper, Lavender & Black Tea. Complex. Moreish.

Grown on the Roxburgh vineyard in the Upper Hunter Valley, no other varietal represents a sustainable growing future like Vermentino. Naturally high acid makes a bright, textural delight with tangy citrus flavour and acidity. Plenty of crunch and energy, we hope this wine is still around in the warmer months.

Zonte's call this a "sexy, sassy, somewhat racy Vermentino that exudes so much character it just keeps you coming back for more..." Expect lovely green apple, starfruit, fresh lime and zesty grapefruit all wrapped up in a crisp zingy finish. This is delicious!

Velarino means "curtain" in Italian. Every theatre has one, and often it's a work of art. Opening the curtain can be likened to uncorking a bottle of good wine. This is when the show begins! The Velarino Vermentino from Sicily will have you applauding as it entertains you with its fruity aromas and flavours of white peach, apricot and apple, not to mention the finale of crisp, delicious refreshment. Take a bow, Velarino!
