Koerner Pigato Vermentino 2024 is a vibrant Clare Valley skin-contact white from Damon and Maddy Koerner, made with 100% Vermentino from the Gullyview Vineyard at Watervale. Twenty days on skins bring gentle haze and delicious texture, while Terra Rossa soils over limestone add a refreshing mineral edge.

Lemon barley, green apple skin and white pepper lead the aromatics, with rose petal, musk, clove and chalky minerality unfolding in the glass. The Koerner 2024 Pigato Vermentino is juicy and energetic, yet sleek rather than hard-edged, balancing intense acidity with an almost creamy palate and fine phenolic grip.

Serve this distinctive Clare Valley Vermentino with oysters, kingfish crudo, grilled calamari, chilli prawns or salty antipasti. Its bright citrus crunch and savoury skin-contact texture love seafood and spice, making it a brilliant choice for adventurous white-wine drinkers and long, sun-drenched lunches.
