Technical Analysis
In honour of the Italian heritage of grape growing and winemaking. Estate grown grapes are picked early to retain crisp acidity producing aromatic wines with lively lemony characteristics.
Tasting note
The Family Vermentino is light green in colour with lifted lemon blossom aromas. A subtle and crisp wine showing fresh green apple flavours with a lovely saltiness.
Vintage conditions
The 2022 vintage was another great season following the ideal 2021. The season featured warm, mild weather which was ideal for the vineyards, but the harvest was delayed by a large rain event on Australia Day. The vintage has produced beautiful wines with lifted aromatic whites
Vinification details
Harvested in mid-February in the cool of the night, the grapes were promptly crushed and gently pressed. The clean juice was inoculated with yeast strains specially selected to enhance the naturally occurring fruit characteristics, before a long, cool ferment. After settling, the wine was stabilised and filtered before an early bottling capturing all the vineyard had to give.

Vintage conditions
2021 was one of the best vintages Trentham have ever had, with very mild weather, little
rain and average to good crops, and the wines produced from it look great. The fruit flavours are beautiful and intense with the season bringing prolific dark, dense colours to the reds. The overall season has offered splendid results in the tank and barrel. A very exciting harvest.
