2007 Verdelho Fortified

Grape Varietal— Verdelho

Sweet and rich, this gold-medal-winning Fortified Verdelho is truly a decadent drop. Intoxicating apricot, melt-in-your-mouth butterscotch and heady caramel romance the palate, a swooning symphony of sticky date pudding. The dessert of your dreams. 

GOLD - 96 Points - Halliday Wine Companion 

"An impressive fortified. Impressive as much for its rancio complexity, evoking varnish, roasted walnuts and blue cheese, as much as the impeccable poise derived from the high-quality spirit in play and its integration. Excellent." 

93 Points - The Real Review

"Deep straw-gold leaning to a light amber at the core. Dried apricot, golden syrup and cinnamon sugar aromas. Flows with a subtle sweetness of dried stone fruits and maple syrup notes across the palate. As it rolls to long finish we see a rancio style nuttiness emerge, though heat also becomes apparent. A fresher style that will work with a lot of lighter cheeses and nutty desserts."
