Verdelho 2010
The 2010 vintage in the Hunter valley was marked by wet weather conditions that most of the Australian east coast experienced in the past year. Despite this, the fruit was harvested in remarkable condition .The grapes were de-stemmed and then the whole fruit was pumped through a chiller and to a Bucher membrane press. The fruit was gently pressed over a three-hour period and the juice pumped to stainless steel settling tanks. The juice was then cold and enzyme settled, before being racked and “seeded” with X16, a yeast that has been developed to help express the inherent fruit qualities of the variety. The fermentation was carried out in stainless steel tanks at a temperature regime of 12-15 deg C for a period of 3 weeks. The wine was then chilled, bentonite fined and then filtered. A small amount of grape juice was added back to balance the palate, and then the wine was stabilized and sterile filtered before being bottled into 750mL antique green punted claret bottles with a BVS/ROTE (cap) finish to retain freshness.
Tasting Notes
“Pale green straw in colour, this wine exhibits the typical lifted varietal aromas of fruit salad and passionfruit, with floral notes. The palate is round and full with fruit salad and citrus flavours, and possesses a crisp balanced fruit and acid finish. This wine, with its exceptional fruit characters, is perfect with seafood dishes such as sashimi and fresh salmon.”
