2019 Verdelho

The Verdelho grape first made its name as one of the four varietals of Maderia wine in homeland Portugal. Traditionally a rich fortified wine, it has now made a name for itself here in Australia as being a light, fruity easy drinking style that can be enjoyed on it’s own or accompanying by food.

Tasting Notes

Tropical aromas of pineapple, passionfruit, guava and citrus. With these tropical flavours providing a luscious mouth feel, balanced with a vibrant line of citrus fruit leading to a refreshing crisp finish.
