James Halliday The Wine Companion (Score: 95)

A paean to a texturally intriguing and pungently aromatic variety, at its apogee in Sardinia and Liguria. Examples such as this suggest Australia is not too far behind. Peach, Meyer lemon and a whiff of fennel curl their way across an attractively unctuous palate, brought to life by juicy acidity, mineral and some unresolved spritz for lift. An exceptional vermentino.

Over four generations and 125 years, Tulloch Wines has been crafting classic and emerging wine styles tailored for the passionate wine lovers of the day.
The Tulloch story began in 1895 when John Younie Tulloch accepted an unusual settlement of a debt a 43-acre property at Pokolbin in the Hunter Valley containing 5 acres of neglected Shiraz vines. Today, the Tulloch name lives on as a founding wine producer of the region with a renewed commitment to the production of premium Hunter Valley varietals and wine styles for all generations.
Tulloch has six distinct ranges of wines, including our much-loved Tulloch Range lead by the Tulloch Verdelho, as well as our Vineyard Selection, Limited Release, Heritage, G Series and Cellar Door Only ranges completing the portfolio.
