Description
The white Verdelho grapes are most famous for their use in white port from Portugal, but it has also found a great home used for a classic white table wine in the Hunter Valley region. The grapes for this 2021 vintage were harvested from selected vineyards within the Hunter Valley and the resulting free-run juice was cool-fermented to retain its inherent fragrant qualities. A small amount of residual sugar was left in the wine for added complexity and fruit weight. Soon after fermentation the finished wine was fined, filtered, and bottled. The result is a fresh and lively white wine with an intense sweet tropical nose and lifted spice aromas. Rich tropical fruit and honey flavours fulfil the palate and are complemented by a crisp lemony finish. Ready to drink young but will cellar surprisingly well for another 5-6 years. An ideal accompaniment to chicken, seafood and spicy Asian, Mexican and Indian dishes.
Excellent drinking now and will continue to develop in complexity with some further bottle age.
