First Creek Limited Release Vermentino 2023

Special Price $35.00 Regular Price $40.00
Another utterly delicious, world-class Vermentino, reminiscent of the best examples produced in Corsica. The nose is perfumed, the palate medium bodied and textural, with tropical and citrus flavours on the palate leading to a mineral finish. A ripper.
