Description

Verdicchio is an old Italian variety that has a long history in the Marche region dating back to at least the 14th century, and has been quite a popular white grape there since the 1980's.

This is a wonderfully bright and crisp expression from Beechworth, crafted by the talented hands of Adrian Rodda. Boasting a natural acidity and a great structure, you'll find a lot of pleasure in this beautiful dry white.

If all that wasn't enough, it's great value too!

"No problem with ripeness here. Equally no problem in cuddling up to this warm, friendly verdicchio.... It's ripe and easy to get to know and love, and the temptation would be to enjoy sooner rather than later."
- Jeni Port (Halliday Wine Companion)

Fermentation in stainless steel and maturation in large oak. No problem with ripeness here. Equally no problem in cuddling up to this warm, friendly verdicchio revealing another side to its nature after the savouriness of the '23. Brings a creamy, textural appeal hand in hand with summer stone fruits, melon, Meyer lemon and floral honeysuckle notes with an underlying subtle layer of spice. It's ripe and easy to get to know and love, and the temptation would be to enjoy sooner rather than later.

Hand-picked and chilled overnight before being whole-bunch pressed. We gentle pressed the fruit in order to avoid excessive phenolic extraction. The wine was fermented in stainless steel. After the primary fermentation the wine was sulphured and transferred to a large cask for ageing on the heavy yeast less fo 12-months.

Medium-full bodied textural wine, supported by saline acidity, with a long persistent palate. White stone fruit and white flowers prevail, with a hint of vibrant citrus.
