white grape

Verdelho

Warm, maritime climates; the Hunter Valley and Madeira are its homes.

Known as: Verdelho

Verdelho is a white grape that came to fame on the Atlantic island of Madeira, where its wine survives centuries of sea voyages.

In Australia's Hunter Valley it has been reborn as a vibrant, citrusy dry white built around lime, lemongrass and bracing acidity.

For the buyer, Verdelho is zest and verve — refreshing, slightly tropical and wonderful with food.
