The 2023 Protero Aromatico is an exotic and highly aromatic Adelaide Hills white blend crafted by Stephen Pannell from Gewürztraminer, Riesling and a small portion of Sauvignon Blanc. Inspired by the aromatic wines of Northern Italy, this unique blend delivers vibrant fragrance, texture and freshness while showcasing the cool-climate character of the Protero vineyard in Gumeracha.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a silky texture and lively natural acidity. Aromas of lychee, rose petal, citrus blossom and ginger lead into flavours of pear, stone fruit, lemongrass and lime, with subtle spice and floral notes adding complexity. The finish is long, fresh and aromatic, balancing richness with precision and mineral freshness.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic choice for customers looking for something a little different from traditional white wine styles. Its vibrant aromatics and refreshing acidity make it a natural match for Thai dishes, Vietnamese cuisine, spicy Asian flavours, fresh seafood and aromatic salads. Best enjoyed young and well chilled over the next 2–4 years while its bright fruit and floral character are at their peak.
