Bright spring sunshine radiates from this Save Our Souls Goulburn Valley Vermentino 2024, a Mediterranean-inspired beauty crafted by winemakers Jason Searle and Bill Downie from the sun-drenched vineyards of Goulburn Valley where warm days and cool nights create perfect ripening conditions. Hints of lime, pear and crushed stones fill the nose with an aromatic intensity that transports you straight to the Italian coast. Pale straw-yellow in appearance, this SOS Vermentino showcases the variety’s hallmark salinity and mineral backbone.

Medium-bodied with punchy pink grapefruit zest dominating the palate, the wine delivers slightly salty mineral notes alongside a snappy, textured finish that keeps you utterly refreshed. Vibrant acidity runs through the core, creating a lively mouthfeel with excellent tension and length. This is Vermentino as it should be – bright, zesty and completely food-friendly with a refreshing edge.

Fresh seafood platters piled high with oysters and prawns make the ultimate pairing for this Goulburn Valley white, where the saline character and citrus notes enhance briny flavours beautifully. Try it with grilled whole fish, Mediterranean mezze or light pasta dishes with lemon and herbs – serve it chilled on warm summer afternoons.
