Tasting Notes
The 2022 Terah Wine Vermentino is fresh, vibrant, and wonderfully expressive. It opens with a coastal breeze of lemon zest, white peach, and sea spray, followed by a palate full of green apple, fennel, and almond skin. Light-bodied but layered, with energetic acidity and a clean, mineral finish, it’s a white wine that thrives on tension and elegance.
Winemaker Notes
Aromas
-
Lime blossom, saline breeze, green herbs, and subtle orchard fruit
Palate
-
Zippy and textured, showing citrus peel, crisp pear, crushed rock, and light bitter almond
Finish
-
Bright and briny, with a lingering minerality and a whisper of savory spice
This wine was crafted from organically farmed vineyards and fermented with native yeasts in neutral vessels to preserve varietal integrity. No fining, filtering, or unnecessary additions—just a pure expression of Vermentino grown under California sun with a Mediterranean sensibility.
Food Pairing Suggestions
Vermentino is known for its food-friendliness, and this one is no exception:
-
Grilled octopus or calamari with lemon and olive oil
-
Thai green curry with tofu or shrimp
-
Sardinian fregola pasta with clams
-
Marinated white anchovies or boquerones
-
Artichoke and herb flatbread or arugula salad with shaved pecorino
Its acidity and subtle salinity make it ideal for seafood, vegetables, and Mediterranean fare.
Why We Love It
We love the 2022 Terah Vermentino because it’s both coastal and cerebral—a white wine that’s refreshing but never simple. It reflects Terah Bajjalieh’s thoughtful, low-intervention approach, where every decision is made to highlight the land and grape. It’s perfect for lovers of crisp whites with texture and tension, and a standout example of California’s new-wave natural wines.
