Mattinson review of Lino Ramble Slinky Dry White Vermouth.

Lino Ramble Slinky Dry White Vermouth
$40, 500ml, 18.5% alcohol, cork stopper, McLaren Vale.
Recommended? Hell yes.

It’s made with white frontignac grapes, I believe, but whatever it was made with it’s an absolute beauty. It’s just so exuberant. Ripe white grapes, a huge bloom of orange peel, lemon zest, rosemary, brine and general citrus characters put on a delicious show. It’s nervy and dry but it feels like neither, courtesy of its fresh, harmonious, life-loving eagerness, both in scent and in flavour. This is $40 you won’t regret.

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
