Grenache is historic, a little forgotten and yet a star variety of the Swan Valley. Ours comes from old Scampoli-planted vines at the foot of the Darling Scarp - gravel and sand over coffee rock, dry-grown, and picked around mid-February. Here’s why those soils matter, and why we pick earlier than the Valley traditionally has.

Western Australia already has a Mediterranean climate, so why not grow the grapes that evolved in one? Fiano, Vermentino and Dolcetto hold their acidity in the heat, cope with drought and ripen to full flavour at moderate alcohol. Here’s why we grow them at Vino Volta, and why they’re a smarter answer to hotter vintages than another Chardonnay.

Vino Volta Sole Bambino Vermentino received Gold at the International Concorso Vermentino 2026 along with 3 other Australian Vermentino's. Vermentino is really proving itself suited to warmer climate regions in Australia as is the case in its original plantings in coastal Sardinia, Liguria and Tuscany in Italy.
