De Iuliis 2025 Estate Verdelho
Verdelho, as a variety, has an extensive history in the Hunter Valley. In the early 1820s, pioneering figures like James Busby and John Macarthur brought Verdelho from Europe. Initially, it was used mainly for fortified wines but for the past few decades it has cemented its place as one of the Hunter’s most prominent and versatile varieties.
These vines that produce this Estate Verdelho were planted on the De Iuliis family's Lovedale Road property in the early 90s.
Fermented in stainless steel tanks. the resluting wine is full of rich, tropical characters of pineappple and passionfruit, guava and pineapple. The palate is fresh with crisp acid and rich tropical fruit flavours.
