Aaron Mercer’s 2024 Bianco Vermentino is an easy-drinking nod to the future of sustainable grape-growing. Vermentino thrives in warm, dry climates like the Hunter Valley, and this wine makes the most of its natural resilience. With fruit sourced from the Roxburgh Vineyard in the Upper Hunter, it’s all about simplicity done well.
Bright and zippy, it’s bursting with tangy citrus and a subtle saline edge that keeps things lively. There’s a touch of texture and plenty of refreshing crunch, making it a great companion for sunny afternoons and laid-back meals.
Perfect with fresh seafood or just a handful of salty snacks, this is the kind of white that’s made for the esky and your next casual get-together. At this price, it’s as easy on the wallet as it is on the palate.

"An outstanding Hunter vermentino that successfully traverses the elements of texture and vibrancy. The palate is fabulously expansive, with clean citrus flavours and delicate notes of acacia. Lighter in body with excellent flavour length and charm."
