Details
This zesty-fresh white is made from Mediterranean favourite Vermentino, a variety found most commonly in northern Italy and Sardinia, as well as the south of France. This version, from the Limestone Coast of South Australia, is authentic and honest - flavours of Meyer lemon, sea spray and almond, with a firm vein of acidity. Delicious!

Origin: Some say Spain, while others swear Italy. One thing for sure, it definitely originated somewhere the Mediterranean. Mainly Grown In: Italy, France, Australia. Key Facts: Even though Vermentino is an ancient grape, it has in recent years been coined "the grape of the future" and it's easy to see why. In addition to its deliciously crisp, light and refreshing flavour profile, Vermentino is a grape that can handle the heat of progressively warming vineyard sites across the globe! Where many other grapes pack up and call for a siesta (or make a flat and flabby wine) in the warmest of wine-growing regions, Vermentino basks in the warmth and produces excellent quality wines with exquisite acidy and crunch! If you're a sun-worshipper too, you may have just met your new soul-mate grape. Vermentino is usually unoaked and moderate in alcohol, which like many other Italian varietals, makes it deliciously food-friendly. Fun Fact: In Sardinia, Vermentino has risen to become the Italian island's key white-wine grape and is used to make one of the island's most highly regarded wines, Vermentino di Gallura.

Pairing guide
It really was love at first sip when it came to tasting this zesty Vermentino from the Daisy collection, and we just couldn’t get enough of its amazing food pairing potential. All that brightness and fresh acidity makes this wine a superb option for matching with white fish dishes, the simpler and fresher the better, and it’s going to be great with prawns and other slightly sweet seafood options, too. Vermentino is also a winning wine for vegetable dishes, especially those putting spinach or zucchini in the spotlight, and you’ll get great results from chicken or turkey breast salads, too.

Wine region
Limestone Coast, Australia
The Limestone Coast is a large wine zone in the south-east of South Australia which has six wine regions that comprise the Limestone Coast; Coonawarra, Mount Benson, Mount Gambier, Padthaway, Robe and Wrattonbully. The Limestone Coast is in a unique position with cool winds and ocean waters throughout the summer months thanks to an oceanic event called the Bonney Upwelling which helps keep the vineyards cool during the hot summer months. The Limestone Coast produces a wide range of quality wines from classic Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz in Coonawarra to cool-climate varieties like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in Robe and Mount Gambier. It is truly a versatile area and one of the backbones of the Australian wine industry.
