  It's hard to rate this against classic verdelho because of course Australia has a hotter climate. Verdelho is supposed to be green and acidic, right? Well this wine has good acidity but it is ridiculously rich and viscous. It is hard to compare it to the classic, so let's try to rate it on its own merits. It starts out rather closed, rather spare, rather lean, but a few swirls and it starts to open up quite well. We drank it with a salad which is a no-no for most wines due to the dressing which had lemons, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, in short, not a compliment to any wine. But the Violinist soared with this combination. Literally. It got richer and fuller and sweeter when paired with the salad. Later in the day it revealed a salinity and the viscous mouth feel was still most prominent. A gem, diamond in the rough, sometimes you pair a wine with food perfectly. I would try this wine with asparagus. Winks to those who know that asparagus is impossible.

  Floral and citrus nose; fuller body, rich and bright. Lactic finish. Malo, citrus, honey flavors. RP best value white wine. Very pleasant and harmonious.
