Bright straw in colour with youthful green hues, it opens with lifted aromas of guava, ripe stone fruit and melon, followed by subtle notes of rose petal and lychee – classic Verdelho character rather than anything to do with Verdejo. On the palate, it’s rounded and mouth-filling, balanced by a fine line of citrus acidity that keeps everything fresh and focused. The finish is dry, crisp and lingering, showing impressive complexity and polish for an Australian Verdelho of this age. It’s a quietly brilliant white wine that rewards a bit of attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop food pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoached chicken breast with lemon-scented risotto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrilled pork with herbs and citrus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoast vegetable dishes with fennel or squash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKate Says\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This is one of those wines I love introducing people to – unexpected, full of flavour and seriously good value.
