This is a straightforward wine that is instantly enjoyable with an intensely floral and fruity nose of luscious tropical fruit aromas. On the palate, this wine combines passion fruit, pineapple, and zesty citrus notes with a lingering, vibrant, cool finish. Verdelhos are very food friendly complement.

Verdelho is a native of the island of Madeira where it is used to make fortified wines. However, Australian producers have found that this grape is capable of producing appealing wines that are a great alternative to the ubiquitous Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Peel’s Verdelho vines range from 10 to 20 years old and produce powerful and flavorful wines that are refreshing on their own and pair well with a variety of foods.

Peel Estate is one of Western Australia’s most prestigious wineries. Founded by the genial Will Nairn in 1974.
