Pale straw with green hues. Aromas of lemon, lime, and subtle florals with a hints of minerality. The palate shows citrus and grapefruit, with a lingering lemon-lime finish and a touch of saline minerality.

Tenuta Montecchiesi's white wine: its vineyards are located in Montecchio, at 270 metres above sea level. Vermentino is the indigenous white grape par excellence of central Italy. Here we wanted to create a blend of Vermentino and Chardonnay, where the Mediterranean notes of Vermentino such as hawthorn and rosemary are combined with fresher scents such as tangerine. A blend with plenty of sapidity (50% Vermentino - 50% Chardonnay).

Nose of honeyed flowers and a beguiling array of layered fruit. Caramelised pear tart and lime and cinnamon. It shows more commonalty with a Northern Rhône Valley white than its ancestral roots from the Mediterranean. Deeply golden in appearance with plenty of sediment in the bottle. Vermentino Many years ago when Jason Searle was helping out at Bass Phillip he came across Bill Downie. Bill and Jason realised that they shared some common ideals for wine. A friendship was then forged during viticulture studies , a passion for wine with definition of place and interest was often the bonding agent. After vintage in Italy Jason returned to keep working on a part-time basis in vineyards while Bill's star was on the rise making a name for himself as one of Australia's brightest young winemakers. Firstly at De Bortoli and then creating the William Downie wines, all this whilst spending the majority of the year in Burgundy. As Jason began to put some ideas in place to start making wine, Bill, now back in Australia, put forward the idea of making them together. Save Our Souls was born. The intention was to make affordable wine that was removed from the shadows of typical New World' wine making practices.
