2009 Vermentino
NEW RELEASE: Our 2009 Vermentino from the BellaGrace Vineyard displays a pale green-gold color in the glass and features an exuberant nose of green apples, pear, mineral and lime. These continue on the palate, with added hints of grapefruit, all enhanced by a refreshing acidity. The wine shows surprising richness, given its acidity, with no evidence of oak on the lingering finish. It is ready to drink upon release and pairs wonderfully with seafood, fruit, and lighter pasta dishes. (Double Gold - 2010 California State Fair, Casque Wines named "California's Best Micro Winery" for white wines for this wine.)

Vermentino Wine Information
Vermentino is an Italian Varietal that can also be found in the Rhone Valley and is called Rolle. : Vermentino is not a wine intended to be aged for long periods of time. It is best enjoyed in its exuberant youth (its first year of life, or so) while it still retains its lovely aromatics and fruit-forward qualities. This wine is ready to drink upon release.
