Vermentino

2008 California Vermentino

The Indian Rock Vineyards Vermentino from the 2008 vintage showcases the delightful characteristics typical of this vibrant varietal. This medium-bodied white wine offers a refreshing mouthfeel, with bright acidity that elevates its overall profile, leaving a crisp and invigorating impression on the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring enticing notes of citrus and stone fruit, which are beautifully balanced by a subtle minerality that speaks to the terroir of California. The wine's dryness complements its lively freshness, making it an enjoyable choice for a variety of occasions, whether paired with seafood dishes or enjoyed on its own. This handcrafted gem is an excellent representation of the potential of California's winegrowing regions and a testament to the quality that can be achieved with Vermentino.

Region:


California

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
