2020 Sous L'Ocean Vermentino

Sip a wine that’s as refreshing as the sea breeze with 2020 Sous L’Ocean Vermentino by EthcDrinks. Produced by sustainable winemaking methods, this dry French white is as good in the glass as it is good for the Earth. Fans of lively, light-bodied varietals like Sauvignon Blanc and Albariño will want to try Vermentino. This aromatic wine opens with tantalizing hints of crisp pear and lemon. The palate is elegant, revealing floral and citrus fruit notes with fresh acidity and a subtle, green almond-like bitterness on the finish. Grapes were grown in Pays d’Oc vineyards recognized with a sustainable agriculture certification (Haute Valeur Environnementale, or HVE) from the French Ministry of Agriculture. HVE is the program’s highest and most stringent certification label. With a pleasant Mediterranean climate, Pays d’Oc is ideal for producing grapes that are expressive of the region’s high-quality terroir.
