  • 2021 ‘1753’ Syrah Vermentino Rosé, Château de CampugetRose Wine

    2021 ‘1753’ Syrah Vermentino Rosé, Château de Campuget

    £1695

    A classic rose petal colour, this elegant, dry rosé shows aromatic notes of grapefruit and delicate citrus hints, through to a refreshing palate of red berry fruits with a lifted finish.

    The terroir in the vineyard is characterised by the ‘Galets’ or large pebbles that are remnants of Alpine glaciers that have been smoothed over millennia by the Rhône. These pebbles absorb and store the heat from the sun during the day and release it at night, encouraging the vines to ripen the grapes. The vines here have established a deep root system enabling them to draw the mineral elements they need to grow and providing a complexity of flavour to the resulting wine. The Mediterranean sunshine is vital to the maturation and phenolic ripeness of the grapes.

  • 2014 Vermentino, Chalmers Wine Republic Heros White Wine

    2014 Vermentino, Chalmers

    £1750

    Chalmers make incredible characterful wines from Mediterranean grape varieties that they have imported, cultivated in vineyards in Heathcote, Victoria.   They released Australia’s first Vermentino wine in 2004 and it’s since become a trademark line in the range, their ‘go-to’ white. There are now more than 100 winemakers working with the grape across Australia and it’s no wonder when it loves the sunshine and makes such delicious wines with ultimate drinkability.

    Chalmers Vermentino is a truly unique iteration of the Mediterranean grape and this 2014 vintage marks a decade of Vermentino in Australia.  It opens in the glass with aromas of soft stonefruit, herbs and sea spray that is so distinctive to the Vermentino grape.  The palate is lively and racy with lovely savoury overtones. Think white nectarine, Amalfi lemons, Italian herbs and a crushed rock minerality as well as that gorgeous sea saltiness associated with the grape.   We love this wine at WR!

    The grapes come from the Chalmers vineyard in Heathcote and are grown on rich, red Cambrian soil, sitting 150-170m above sea level. The grapes are handpicked, whole bunch pressed with wild fermentation before the wine sits on less for 6 months.

  • 2021 Vermentino ‘Albablu’, Campo alle CometeWhite Wine

    2021 Vermentino ‘Albablu’, Campo alle Comete

    £2195

    A fresh and elegant expression of Vermentino, with aromatic floral notes leading to a brisk and zesty citrus palate, beautifully balanced with a lovely mineral sensation on the long, vibrant finish.

    The Campo alle Comete winery is located at the foot of the Castagneto Carducci hill. The oldest vines are planted around the cellar surrounded by the Mediterranean bushland. The proximity of the sea with its constant refreshing breezes plays an important role in the vine’s growth and the maturation of the fruit, where the fresh breezes impart natural balancing acidity to the sun-ripened fruit.

  • 2020 Domaine Gauby`Calcinaires` Blanc IGP Cotes CatalanesWhite Wine

    2020 Domaine Gauby`Calcinaires` Blanc IGP Cotes Catalanes

    £2595

    Domaine Gauby is located close to the small town of Calce in the Roussillon. Now run by Gérard Gauby, his wife Ghislaine and their son Lionel, who is responsible for the winemaking, the domaine has gained a reputation for making wines of exemplary freshness in a hot climate.

    This 2020 `Calcinaires` Blanc has a fresh nose with delicate aromas of white flowers and notes of peach and quince. The palate is expressive with layers of citrus and stone fruit. A bright acidity is underpinned by a long mineral finish.

    This blend of 40% Grenache Blanc, 30% Chardonnay, 20% Macabeu, and 10% Vermentino is sourced from a mixture of old and young vines planted on clay loam and limestone. The Chardonnay vines are average 45 years old and the Macabeu 80 years old, which gives the grapes great concentration. The Roussillon has incredibly diverse soils which, combined with the multiple aspects from the rolling hills, has given Gérard Gauby the freedom to experiment and maximise the potential of each grape variety.
