2022 Verdelho

‘Lava Sunset’

 Enter the tropical zone… 

After a successful single barrel release of 100% Verdelho in 2020 we decided to crank up the numbers to make this wine a regular player in the lineup. Pressed to stainless tank and a portion in French oak, then aged in barriques for 7 months maturation on light/fluffy lees. Such a delight to make. 

Fresh white peach, lime leaf and rock melon head up the aromatics department, followed by wafting scents of jasmine flower, rosemary/thyme, and a potpourri of Asian fruits including lychee and mangosteen. The mouthfeel is creamy, velvety – some nice fresh taut acidity is tempered by the lovely core of tropical fruit sweetness, stone fruits and citrus melding beautifully for a long finish. Lively, fleshy, seductive. 

Drink over a lava sunset.
