The 2007 Verdelho is extremely fragrant and
herbaceous; limes and gooseberry overtones, but also floral scents; like ginger flower, and fruit scents like passionfruit, mango and some creamy aromas.

An initial crisp citrus character is married together with riper peach and banana flavours. All in all, a fresh, medium bodied and finely tuned, elegant palate (i.e. not overblown). Refreshingly zippy acidity balanced with sweet quince and tropical fruit palate.
The 2007 vintage was extremely dry, due to the drought that was gripping Australia at this time and harvest about 2 weeks earlier than normally. Towards the end of the vintage there was a touch of rain that helped to settle
the dust and prevent the vines from completely dehydrating. Yields of most white varieties were down 30% throughout most districts. Smaller berries and fewer bunches increased depth of colour and flavour
concentration and the resultant wine is a cracker!
