This medium-dry verdelho shows salted caramel on the palate. It’s incredibly saline, penetrating and harmonious, with acidity, sweetness and oxidation in perfect balance. This is aged in a canteiro system, in 650-liter American oak barrels, up to bottling in 2023. Drink now or hold.
Verdelho is a white grape variety best known for its role in Madeira wine, where it produces a medium-dry, aromatic fortified wine. Originally from Portugal, Verdelho was historically planted on the mainland but found its greatest success on the island of Madeira, where it thrives in the island’s volcanic soils and coastal climate.
What makes Verdelho unique is its balance of acidity and richness, making it versatile for both fortified and dry wines. In Madeira, it falls between Sercial (the driest) and Bual (medium-sweet), offering flavors of dried fruit, citrus zest, nuts, and caramel, with bright acidity that ensures long aging potential. In dry white wines, particularly from Australia and Portugal, Verdelho expresses tropical fruit, citrus, and floral notes, with a zesty, refreshing finish.
Verdelho’s natural acidity makes it an excellent food wine, pairing well with seafood, poultry, and creamy dishes, offering a vibrant alternative to more common white varieties.
Country
Portugal
Benefiting from both the hot, dry Iberian climate as well as brisk Atlantic winds, Portugal is a perfectly situated country for vineyard cultivation and wine production. With a wine making history which stretches back thousands of years, it comes as little surprise that wine plays an important role in the cultural identity and practices of the country. The Phoenicians, the Carthaginians, the Greeks and the Romans all had a hand in forming Portugal as an important center for wine production, and over the millennia, this resulted in each region of this beautiful part of Europe producing its own distinctive wines easily identifiable and separate from neighboring Spain's. Today, the varied terroir and climate across Portugal allows a great range of wines to be made each year, from the fresh and dry Vinho Verde wines to the famous and widely drunk fortified Port wines, and many in between.
Region
Madeira
The beautiful and sun-drenched island of Madeira, found off of the north west coast of Africa and which are part of Portugal, have long been the home to one of the world's most loved and widely drank fortified wines, named after the island itself. Madeira is a fascinating island, and one which played an important role in the discovery of the wider world, as it was a vital port between Europe and Africa, or the Americas to the west. The island has been producing wines since the 17th century, when the fortified wine it is famous for was first made, by adding grape spirits to still wines in order to stop it from turning bad on the long sea voyages. Today, the island still has a rich wine industry, helped by the almost tropical oceanic climate it enjoys, and the exceptional soils which support a wide range of grape varietals.

Delicate nose combining smoky dried apricot, grapey notes and hints of honey. Lovely poise on the palate with a smoothness all the way through to the finish. (Silver) - DWWA 2025

The non-vintage 10-Year-Old Verdelho has a delightful, resinous bouquet with touches of mahogany bureau and hazelnut. The palate is crisp and taut on the entry, with vibrant acidity, and demonstrates more depth and chutzpah than its counterpart Sercial. The finish is focused with a subtle smoky note lingering after the wine has departed
