Verdelho

Images for Verdelho

Verdelho is a white wine grape variety that is primarily associated with the Portuguese island of Madeira. It is also grown in other regions, including Australia and California.

Verdelho wines can vary in style depending on where they are produced. In Madeira, Verdelho is used to produce fortified wines, particularly in the medium-dry style. These Madeira wines are often rich, full-bodied, and exhibit flavours of caramel, nuts, dried fruits, and sometimes a hint of acidity.

Outside of Madeira, Verdelho is also made into still, dry white wines. These wines can be aromatic with floral and tropical fruit notes, such as lime, pineapple, and passion fruit. They tend to have crisp acidity and can be enjoyed as refreshing, easy-drinking wines.

Verdelho is a versatile grape and its characteristics can vary depending on factors such as climate, soil, and winemaking techniques. Therefore, the specific flavour profile of a Verdelho wine can differ between regions and producers.
