About

Verdelho is a white wine grape originating from Portugal and has traditionally been one of the most popular grapes planted on the small island of Madeira since vines were first planted there in the 15th century. Australian versions of Verdelho are noted for their intense flavours with hints of lime and honeysuckle and the dense texture that the wines can get after some ageing.

Winemaking

Vintage Conditions

The 2025 vintage in McLaren Vale was one of the driest growing seasons we've experienced since 2006, with warm, drought-like conditions prompting an early and compressed harvest.

A warm, dry spring led to early budburst and flowering. Fortunately our access to water reserves allowed healthy canopy growth. A moderate summer followed, with only a handful of days over 35°C, and just one day reaching 40°C.

These dry conditions brought welcome benefits - exceptionally low disease pressure, balanced yields, and fruit of outstanding quality, with whites that are vibrant and well-balanced.

Maker Notes

The fruit was harvested in the cool early morning, cold pressed to tank, pressings and free run juice fined, settled and blended for ferment. Transferred to oak and aged in French oak for around 6 months.
