Benevolent Neglect - 2020 Vermentino

Benevolent Neglect is dedicated to uncovering the 'distinct and enchanting' terroir of California. The Windmill Vineyard, located in the North Coast, has gravelly alluvial soils and is organically farmed. Its warm climate is ideal for Vermentino grapes, resulting in a wine with vibrant, lively fruit flavors like lime zest, freshly - picked apples, and white peaches. These are complemented by subtle hints of fennel and almond, balanced with a crisp acidity and a clean aftertaste. Pair this wonderful wine with roasted trout seasoned with garlic and rosemary, tabbouleh salad, or chicken tacos.

To enjoy this Vermentino wine, simply chill it in the refrigerator for about an hour before serving. Pour it into a wine glass and take a moment to smell the lovely fruit and spice notes. There's no special storage requirement, but keep it in a cool, dark place. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. When it comes to food pairings, as mentioned, it goes great with roasted trout, tabbouleh salad, or chicken tacos. Just remember to take your time sipping and savoring each glass.
