Verdelho, a completely underrated, and in our opinion, under represented grape varietal. It’s as pretty as a picture; all pale ivory with a hint of green. As a preservative free wine, we expect a hint of ‘wild’ on the nose, this dissipates quickly and the aromas of white flowers, frangipani, nectarine, banana and pear come to the fore. It’s promises an interesting flavour profile and doesn’t disappoint. There is an initial mouth filling sweetness, fresh green apple juice with a touch of tannin. The mouthfeel is fruity, with a hint of green olive and marzipan to add complexity.

A very food friendly wine with a well-balanced acid content and a crisp dry finish. Crumbly cheeses anyone? Roast chicken with all the trimming? Make sure you invite the Verdelho!
