The 2024 Save Our Souls Vermentino is a vibrant and refreshingly Mediterranean-inspired white sourced from the Goulburn Valley, Victoria. Crafted by acclaimed winemakers Jason Searle and William Downie, the wine showcases Vermentino’s natural affinity for warm climates while retaining freshness and energy through careful winemaking. True to the SOS philosophy, it is made with minimal intervention, focusing on purity, texture and drinkability.
The nose reveals lime, pear and crushed stone aromas layered with pink grapefruit zest and subtle sea-spray minerality. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and beautifully crisp with vibrant acidity, a lightly saline character and a snappy, textural finish. Layers of citrus, orchard fruit and mineral notes unfold with freshness and precision, finishing dry, zesty and wonderfully refreshing with classic Vermentino charm.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2024 Save Our Souls Vermentino is a bright, coastal-style white that overdelivers on freshness and personality. Crisp, mineral and incredibly food-friendly, it’s perfect with oysters, prawns, grilled fish, Mediterranean dishes or sunny afternoon entertaining. Serve well chilled and enjoy young for maximum vibrancy.
