In his book Varietal Wines, James Halliday says"The success of Verdelho as a table wine in Australia is an extraordinary phenomenon without any obvious explanation"
At first sip this wine shows vanilla sweet fruit then quickly turns to heavy acidity. Its a $20 wine with 15% ABV and as an amateur wine taster I am going to call this one clumsy and I completely disagree with reviews calling this a refreshing wine. There is a reason this grape is used to make Madeira. Chardonnay fear not, Verdelho isn't going to unseat you any time soon.
