Wine Show Gold for Trentham Vermentino

Trentham Estate is very pleased to announce that its 2010 La Famiglia Vermentino has been awarded a Gold medal at the 2011 Royal Queensland Wine Show.

A favourite from Trentham’s La Famiglia range of Italian varietals, the Vermentino is a delicate and crisp white with lemon lime aromas and a dry zesty palate. It is enjoyed by those who favour young, fresh whites such as riesling, or simply appreciate alternative wine varietals and seek out different styles to try.

The very attractive Vermentino variety originates from Sardinia in southern Italy, where it’s enjoyed both as a pre-dinner aperitif and with some of the best seafood in the world.

The La Famiglia range of wines honour Trentham’s Irish and Italian heritage involved in grapegrowing and winemaking – celebrating a Love for Life. The Murphy family believes good wine is to be enjoyed with good company and that the La Famiglia collection offersa style to please every wine drinker.

“We are very proud of the success we have achieved with our alternative varieties, and Vermentino is one wine we have been exceptionally pleased with each vintage – and it’s great to see the wine show judges and wine drinkers in agreement,” remarked winemaker Anthony Murphy. “The La Famiglia range is very important to us in terms of expressing our heritage, and it also allows us to experiment with grape varieties that are well-suited to our Mediterranean climate” he explained.

Trentham’s 2008 vintage Vermentino also received Gold at the Royal Queensland Wine Show in the year of its own release and was the first wine of this variety to win Gold at a national Australian wine show, proving Trentham’s releases are world-class examples of the exotic varietal.

Trentham’s 2010 La Famiglia Vermentino is now available from the Cellar Door as well as selected stockists.
