Oh and don’t forget the pétillance that pricks your tongue all thanks to “methode-traditional”.

2018 Speak Like An Italian Vermentino
Paying tribute to the beautiful wines of Sardinia, Italy, this is a slight step away from the traditional Vermentino. A more developed nose of walnuts, almond skins and soft jasmine undertones as well as all the familiar flavours of Vermentino on the palate- lemon, lime, green pear, and orange. This variety having only arrived in Australia in 2004 shows that it is adaptable to warmer climates and trust us it doesn’t get much hotter than Gin Gin!

2015 Speak Like An Italian Chenin Blanc
8 years of bottle age has done this wine wonders, encapsulating what it means to be complex. Windfall apples, lemon oil, sweet baking spice progressing into hazelnuts and vanilla nuances from age. The palate is powerful and has its own unique personality being dominated by ripe white peach, preserved lemons, apples and spice. A bottle aged wine that speaks truth with nothing hidden or added or as the Italians like to say “In Vino Veritas”…in wine there is truth… * Gold Medal – 2023 Perth Royal Wine Show.
