This is Verdelho not as you know it. A much maligned variety for various reasons, but this example could change that.Some pressings and solids have been used to give this a little kick, and damn, it has worked a treat.
Textural, vibrant and refreshing. Think a dash of lemon, green mango and even some dried pineapple. Some typical Verdelho spice on finish with a good length. The palate weight was the attractive feature for me. Certainly not the squeaky clean type most Verdelhos deliver.
Would I buy it? Yes!
Available at the cellar door, online and at Brisbane's Cru Bar and Thynne Road Cafe Morningside.
