Attack of the Vermin Teens
Vina Robles Vermentino had a happy childhood - for a few years. By about fifth grade, though, the other kids had learned the word "vermin". And Vina Robles Vermentino never heard the end of it. It wasn't crying alone in its oak barrels on prom night. It just had something in its eye.
But oh, if those little monsters could see it now. Vina Robles Vermentino grew into its fresh, creamy flavors. It turned that pain into an expressive richness that says to its childhood tormentors "I have seen the true vermin, and it is you."
Features
The fruit for this wine originated from the estate Huerhuero Vineyard located in the rolling hills of Paso Robles. Planted as a trial, Vina Robles soon discovered that this Italian grape variety responded extremely well to the terroir and wanted to give it its own showcase.
The grapes were hand harvested at night in an effort to preserve the fruit’s fresh flavors. After pressing at the winery, the juice was fermented in both small stainless steel tanks and neutral French oak barrels. The wine was aged sur lie for four months in these vessels to enhance the complexity and its characteristically rich mouthfeel.
