Gullyview Albert's Clare Valley Vermentino 2024

Halliday editor Anna Webster and I believe it's the year of the salty white. Vermentino in this country keeps getting better, and this, too, is a welcome addition to the saline scene. Sea spray and oyster shell, this is limey and briny, mouth-filling and nerve-tingling, party-starting gear. Green melon, pomelo and Granny Smith flavours keep the tastebuds tingling. It's a home run. 94 points, drink 2025-2029, Katrina Butler, Halliday Wine Companion.
