2021 Vermentino | Dunnigan Hills

While an important grape in Sardinia and Tuscany, this varietal is rare in California. In the glass, this example presents with a light gold hue and a very complex bouquet of phenolic aromas, fruity yet unfamiliar, with hints of orange blossom and toast. On the palate, tart green apple, mandarin orange, and lime flavors. Light bodied and a clean mineral finish with hints of bread and grapefruit on the tail.

Good with spicy foods with herbaceous flavors such as laksa. Try with fried chicken especially with flavors of cumin and turmeric. Also try with roast chicken or pork with rosemary or mint.
