GROWN
Verdelho grapes are sourced from both the Hunter Valley and Yenda regions in NSW for this blend.

PICKED
The grapes are left on the vine to acheive as high a sugar level as possible prior to picking and processing.

MADE
The Fortified Verdelho is made using a solera method. This involves making fresh wine each year adding it to the wine ageing in the Solera, whilst at the same time taking some out to bottle. Thus the base blend becomes a blend of each and every year which slowly increases its average age with each successive vintage.
The Verdelho juice is fortified after pressing with neutral spirit and then after some clarification it is transferred to the solera for ageing. The solera is located in a uninsulated tin shed in which the diurnal fluctuations in temperature result in evaporation and modification of the primary fruit flavours of the wine. The prolonged storage in warm conditions brings about oxidative conditions that cause the wine to become maderised taking on the colour and flavour of the wine styles that originated from the island of Madeira off the coast of Portugal.

APPEARANCE
Light brown with olive green hues.

AROMA
Fruity with a hint of oak and some sherry like rancio character. With each successive vintage the flavour deepens and the complexity increases.

PALATE
Floral and fruity flavours with some layers of complexity. There are some definate rancio elements present and the sweet palate coupled with the alcohol warmth creates a very pleasurable imbibing experience.
