This Italian cultivar is a rare find as a varietal wine in South Africa.  It has however taken to Bacco Estate’s soils and climate with great ease and vibrant expression.  It is a typically fragrant, fresh grape with a flavour profile that reminds of its Mediterranean origin.

Bacco Vermentino is known for its beautiful floral and fruity nose. The introduction is filled to the brim with scents of peach blossom and jasmine, followed by lemon, apricot and pineapple. On the palate you are met with yellow apple and almond flakes neatly tied together with the citrus notes that were encountered on the nose. The palate is full yet fresh, with a pithy texture. The vibrant acidity finishes the experience leaving the palate refreshed yet with long lasting notes of lemon.
