Verdelho |
This cheeky Portuguese varietal is renowned for its lovely balance of acid and tropical fruit characters; ripe passionfruit aromas with hints of early picked stone fruit, and so is best enjoyed when young, fresh and crisp. The Rosalie Joan block is three acres and located at the bottom of the vineyard, adjacent to the dam. The vines are 20 years old, with a smaller addition to the block of 5 year old vines. Rosalie Joan was sister and aunty to the Wilson family. To order some of this fantastic wine, simply visit our online Cellar Door to order directly online.
