Description

Winemakers Selection Verdelho 2021 is a pale yellow with green hues. It has a tropical fruit aroma with mouth-filling fresh pear and stone fruit flavors, while a crisp, refreshing line of acidity delivers a long, dry finish on the palate.
The grapes were machine harvested at the beginning of February, and pressed gently with only the free run cut used. A cool ferment was used to ensure aromatic characters were retained. Post fermentation the wine was sulfured and racked off yeast lees, with a light fining of skim milk. The Verdelho was then heat and cold stabilized filtered and bottled under screw cap to retain freshness.

Winemaker: Jeff Byrne, Xanthe Hatcher
