Ros Ritchie Vermentino 2024 from Victoria’s Upper Goulburn high country is a bright, coastal‑feeling white built for refreshment – all citrus, green apple and a touch of sea‑spray salinity in a lean, zippy frame. Ros Ritchie Vermentino 2024 leans into lemon, lime, crunchy pear skin and gentle herb notes, feeling more savoury and mineral than overtly fruity. The palate is light to medium bodied and seriously refreshing, with brisk acidity and a clean, dry finish.

This Upper Goulburn vermentino is a natural with anything you’d squeeze lemon over – think grilled fish, salt‑and‑pepper squid, pipis, prawn skewers or classic fish and chips. It will also shine with Mediterranean‑style salads, pesto‑driven pasta and soft cheeses, where the citrus and saline edge cut through richness and salt perfectly. Serve good and cold and it’s an easy mid‑week or long‑lunch pour for Adelaide weather.

What makes Ros Ritchie Vermentino 2024 so handy is the mix of thirst‑quenching crunch and subtle complexity – you get zesty citrus, gentle herbal notes and a faintly saline, mineral twist that keeps it feeling a bit more grown‑up than simple quaffing white. It’s a smart high‑country alternative for sauv blanc and pinot grigio drinkers chasing something equally refreshing but a touch more interesting.
