Dryridge Estate ‘MILA’ Vermentino 2019 from the Megalong Valley in the Blue Mountains is a vibrant, coastal‑feeling white, all about freshness, crunch and easy drinking. It takes a Mediterranean grape and gives it a distinctly cool‑climate Aussie twist, with bright fruit and a clean, moreish finish that suits long lunches and warm evenings.

In the glass, Dryridge Estate MILA Vermentino 2019 typically shows lemon and lime zest, green apple, crisp pear and a faint whiff of herbs and sea spray. The palate is light to medium‑bodied with a gently pithy, saline edge, lively acidity and a dry, refreshing close that keeps you coming back for another sip.

This MILA Vermentino 2019 is made for simple, summery food – grilled prawns, salt‑and‑pepper squid, white‑fish tacos, oysters, tomato‑and‑basil salads or classic fish and chips. Serve it properly chilled and pour it as your first glass of the day or alongside Mediterranean‑inspired share plates.
