Swan Valley Tamala Vermentino 2021 Western Australia
$31.95
Swan Valley Tamala Vermentino 2021
Perth is surrounded by limestone, but precious little of it is planted to wine grapes. The Tamala limestone was formed by rising and falling sea levels associated with global glacial retreat during the Quaternary era making it significantly younger than the Jurassic soils of the Jura.
Limestone soils and proximity to the coast, make for a fresh and juicy wine, with authentic Sardinian-like preserved lemon and dried peach notes and pronounced minerality.
A rare wine in the Australian context and perfect with all seafood.
Swan Valley Wines is a boutique winery, nestled in the foothills of the Darling Scarp in Western Australia. Our estate vineyard is one of the oldest producing vineyards in Western Australia and several of our varietals are amongst the oldest of their type in Australia.
Our manifesto:
PROTECT old vines and preserve the bio-cultural diversity and endemic grape varietals of the Swan Valley
PRESERVE the character of estate and local vineyards by practising organic viticulture and supporting local growers who choose to work this way
RESPECT the rules of nature and allow natural processes to occur in the winery, including use of indigenous yeasts, not blocking microbial activities and the use of low or no preservatives
RESIST trends. We make wines that reflect the conditions of vintage and above all represent styles that we like to drink.
