Tamburlaine Organic Grapevine Verdelho 2025: Tasting Notes

WINE STYLE → Tropical-citrus & zesty

Verdelho is one of those quietly brilliant food whites—aromatic, bright and a little more textural than Sauvignon Blanc. This organic version delivers pineapple and citrus up front, with ripe peach and a hint of passionfruit-like lift. The palate is dry and zesty, with a gentle mid-palate softness that makes it feel generous without turning heavy. Think fresh, summery and very easy to match with seafood, herbs and spice.

Highlights

• Certified organic and vegan-suitable
• Pineapple, lemon-lime and ripe stone fruit
• Dry, zesty finish with a softly textured mid-palate
• Brilliant with seafood and spicy food

Taste Profile

Tasting Notes

Pineapple and citrus lead, with ripe peach and a touch of tropical lift. Dry and zesty on the palate, with a gently textured mid-palate and a clean, refreshing finish.

Winemaking

Made in a fresh, aromatic style to keep Verdelho’s tropical-citrus character bright. Cool fermentation preserves lift and flavour, while a little time on lees can add that subtle mid-palate softness that makes Verdelho such a great food wine.

Vineyard & Vintage

From certified organic fruit selected for freshness and flavour. Verdelho thrives in Australia’s sunshine—delivering ripe fruit while still keeping a lively, zesty line.

Why We Love It

Because it’s a seriously handy “all-rounder” white: aromatic like Sauvignon Blanc, but a touch rounder and more textural—so it handles spice, richness and herbs beautifully.

Food Pairing

Seafood, BBQ chicken, Thai salads, Vietnamese-style dishes, and anything with ginger, lemongrass or chilli. Verdelho is a natural Spicy-Food Specialist—zesty enough for chilli, but with enough texture for saucier dishes.
