The Veneto Garganega
2022 | $30 Bottle | $360 case
SOLD OUT!
With a lovely pale colour and a rich texture this white is perfectly suited to food. Made like a more classic ‘soave’ from the Veneto region of Italy this wine has sweet apple and pinapple aromas with sweet fruit flavours on the palate reminicent of tropical fruits with a slightly tart edge. Produced entirely in stainless steel to retain freshness this wine is perfectly balanced.
This is the third vintage produced with fruit coming from the Chalmers Vineyards further north of Heathcote. The 2021 vintage was awarded Best White Wine, Best Other Wine & Best Heathcote Grown & Produced wine at the 2021 Interpack Heathcote Wine Show.
This wine has aromas of pineapple and pear drop. It has a rounded mouthfeel, with a rich palate of zesty pineapple ad good palate weight. It’s lively with the fruit and citrus driving the finish.
This wine pays tribute to the love affair that winemaker, Adrian Munari, has with the Garganega grape, which originates in Northern Italy near to his family village of Gallio in the Veneto region. Produced in stainless steel to maintain a fruit driven style, this wine has also seen some ‘sur lie’ which has produced a more textured mouthfeel. Displaying stone fruit, pear and pineapple characters through the nose and palate, this wine has a typically Italian savoury finish making it a perfect accompaniment to food. The red campbrian soil of Heathcote combined with the Mediterranean climate produce wines displaying complex, concentrated flavours which has distinctively Heathcote Terroir.
