The 2025 Chalmers Vermentino Zero is a vibrant alcohol-free white wine crafted from estate-grown Vermentino in Heathcote, Victoria. Produced using premium Vermentino fruit before undergoing a gentle de-alcoholisation process, it retains the variety's natural freshness and character. The nose is bright and expressive, offering aromas of mandarin, white peach, lemon balm and subtle mineral notes, reflecting the Mediterranean origins of the grape.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with lively citrus flavours, white stone fruit and a refreshing mineral edge. A small amount of natural grape sweetness helps maintain texture and flavour, while bright acidity keeps the wine crisp and balanced. The finish is clean, fresh and zesty, making it an appealing alcohol-free alternative for any occasion.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those seeking a premium alcohol-free wine without sacrificing varietal character. Refreshing, food-friendly and easy to enjoy, it is best served well chilled. Pair with cucumber salad, grilled seafood, poached chicken, fresh herbs or light Mediterranean-style dishes.
