Chalmers 2015 Montevecchio Bianco


I found Chalmers 2015 Montevecchio Bianco at a local restaurant. Chalmers have a vineyard in Colbinabbi, in the Heathcote region. Chalmers planted vines there in only 2009, but this range started producing in 2011. If anyone asked, I'd say, yes, Chalmers are a reliable label, though I've only drunk the Vermentino and Fiano – separately. The Montevecchio Bianco is blended from both, with a small percentage of Moscato Giallo. Faulkner, quoted on the Chalmers website, says that the vineyard's strong identifier is that it has a 'diversity of plantings [of] Italian varieties'. The Bianco is aromatic, yet clean and dry, in a workable combination. It's strange that the Chalmers website has no link to the Montevecchio one.
