Gillmore Vermentino del Maule 2024

94 pts James Suckling April 2025 What an exciting vermentino. Aromas of smoke, coriander and hints of cream and burnt feathers. Quite flavorful, with an almost full body and a fresh, lengthy finish. I love the seriousness and the creamy texture. This beats many of its Italian counterparts. Aged in one foudre and the rest in used oak barrels. Delicious now.91 pts Vinous The 2024 Vermentino del Maule hails from Loncomilla in the Maule Valley and was fermented in barrels. Pale green in hue, it opens with soft aromas of white peach and a hint of herbs. Sapid, slightly oily and saline, this delivers concentration and a broad, textured palate. The 13% alcohol supports its weight without detracting from its balance. The 2024 is distinctive and well structured.90 pts Wine Spectator Dec 2025 Intriguing, with subtle, spicy floral and almond hints to the lively core of preserved lemon and green apple that lingers around a salted melon note.90 pts Wine Enthusiast Dec 2025 Bright notes of citrus fruit and celery show on the nose of this Vermentino from dry-farmed vines in the Maule Valley. Hints of golden apple complete the bouquet. The lively palate exhibits oak spices and herbs, followed by soft notes of pear and stone fruit that linger in the finish.
