Heathecote, Victoria, Australia
Chalmers is a 2nd generation winery, located in Heathcote, Australia, which originally was a vineyard nursery. Montevecchio Bianco is their homage to Italy, named after the village in Sardinia. A blend of white grapes from an area in Heathcote that is speckled with volcanic intrusions and iron rich clay and limestone soils. The blend, in order of percentages, is Vermentino, Pecorino, Ribolla Gialla, Falanghina, Moscato Giallo, and Fiano. Hand harvested, whole cluster, and co-fermented, then aged 6 months on the lees in stainless steel. Dry and balanced, with a touch of structure. An impressive rendition of a classy Italian white.
Fragrant, fleshy and fruity, this wine shows notes of Passion flower, grapefruit and fresh almonds. It is crisp yet giving on the palate with a clean dry, chalky finish. Enjoy extra chilled with some a summer spread.
