A lovely off white, copper hue to the wine. Not quite rose, but a really appealing blush. The nose has mandarin peel, fennel and a touch of funk and wet earth. Palate is racy, with cumquat and dried flower notes. Finishes with a vanilla note, and a savoury, phenolic bite. Theres skinsy and bunchy notes throughout, but they are in harmony with the pristine fruit and energy of a white wine from this cool, humid year.

Produced in a truly Mediterranean climate on the south west corner of the beautiful island of Sardinia. From the esteemed house of Santa Margherita comes a Vermentino of quality, vibrancy and intensity, singing of fruit blossom and a salad bowl of orchard fruit. A mediterranean herbal note, a touch of minerality and a refreshing hint of salinity add great complexity and refreshment. Finishing crisply, this would play an excellent supporting role to your next seafood meal.
