  • About
This white variety can be characterised by its burst of passionfruit with traces of sweetness on the mid-palate, and its clean, acidic finish. It seems to be better suited to the warmer climates of the Hunter Valley in New South Wales, McLaren Vale in South Australia and Margaret River in Western Australia.

A food wine, verdelho’s combined sweetness and acidity allow it to work with food elements which help to bring its overt fruitiness into line, such as lemongrass, mild chilli, kaffir lime, galangal and fennel. Try it with Salt-and-pepper Oyster Fritters with Shaved Fennel and Blackbean Dressing, Chicken Livers with Pickled Lamb’s Tongue, Mustard Spaghetti and Garlic Sauce or Chargrilled Octopus with Saffron Rouille and Roasted Onion and Pimiento Salad.
