Varietal

Verdejo

Verdejo, an esteemed white grape varietal native to Spain, thrives in the sun-drenched vineyards of the Rueda region, where it flourishes in the region's sandy soils and continental climate. Revered for its aromatic intensity and vibrant acidity, Verdejo produces wines of exceptional freshness and elegance. Verdejo wines are characterized by their aromatic bouquet of citrus fruits, tropical notes, and subtle herbal undertones. With a medium body and crisp acidity, they offer a refreshing palate that pairs perfectly with seafood, salads, and light appetizers. As interest in Spanish wines grows, Verdejo has emerged as a shining star, captivating wine enthusiasts with its expressive character and undeniable charm. Its ability to reflect the unique terroir of Rueda makes Verdejo a beloved choice among both novices and connoisseurs alike.

Country

Australia

Whilst most of Australia consists of arid deserts and dense bushland, the oceanic coasts to the south of the country have a terrain and climate ideal for vine cultivation and wine production. It took several decades of failed attempts at the end of the 18th century in order to produce vines of a decent enough quality for making wine, but since those first false starts, the Australian wine industry has continued to grow and grow. Today, wine production makes up for a considerable part of the Australian economy, with exports in recent years reaching unprecedented levels and even overtaking France for the first time ever. Whilst the greatest successes in regards to quality have been the result of the Syrah grape varietal (known locally as Shiraz), Australia utilizes several Old World grapes, and has had fantastic results from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Riesling, Chardonnay and more. As the Australian passion for locally produced wine continues to develop, wineries have begun experimenting with a wider range of grape varietals, meaning that nowadays it isn't uncommon to find high quality Australian wines made from Petit Verdot, Sangiovese, Tempranillo and Viognier, amongst many others.

Region

Margaret River

When it comes to the south-westerly part of Australia, the Margaret River is by far the most important and productive of the area's wine producing regions. The region itself currently has over five thousand hectares of land under vine, and there are almost one hundred and fifty wineries operating there, making the most of the humid and warm climate many experts claim is remarkably similar to that which is found in the Bordeaux region of France. Such a climate can only produce fantastic yields of grapes of exceptional quality, and indeed, Margaret River currently produces almost twenty percent of Australia's wines. Both red and white wine grapes grow in the region, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Chardonnay and Sémillon being the varietals most commonly and widely grown.

WA 90pts

Wine Advocate

The 2021 Verdelho is taut and tropical (a great combo when it comes to Verdelho). It is full of pineapple husk, green apples, brine, layers of lemon pith, grapefruit and gentle notions of cheesecloth. I like this variety, when it's made in this way; picked on the underside of fully ripe (perhaps), it retains that quenching line of pithy acidity, and the phenolics hold it in good stead in the cellar for up to a decade. As it ages, it moves into a toasty, spicy spectrum of flavor and makes for engaging drinking. This was tasted blind as part of the "Value for Money" tasting in September 2023. RRP $27 AUD.

A crisp and fruity white with aromas of pears, chopped apples and waxed lemons. Medium-bodied with bright acidity and a citrusy, clean and lightly waxy finish. Vegan. Drink now. Screw cap.

Winery Notes

After collecting cuttings during pruning season from one of the oldest Vineyards in the Swan Valley north east of Perth in 1976 the “Old Block” was planted on Ashbrook Estate. Due to its popularity a second block was planted in 1987 which is affectionately known as the “Verdelho over the creek”. Coupled with the application of composted mulch, for the past 9 years, the vineyards show remarkable health. Famous for its natural acidity, this variety ages beautifully. Cellaring for more than five years rewards with complex spice and honeysuckle and developing nutty and toasty characters. Stainless steel fermented and aged.
