Verdelho comes from Portugal originally, yet it was amongst the first varieties planted in Langhorne Creek and still thrives today. Conditions for grape growing in Langhorne Creek are ideal thanks to the natural fertility of the floodplain soils, the ability of those soils to retain moisture from natural winter floods, and the moderation of the local climate by cooling evening breezes off nearby Lake Alexandria and the Southern Ocean in summer. Look for fragrant honeydew melon, pineapple, passionfruit, lemon zest and citrus with balanced acidity and an almost steely, persistent finish.

Marqués de Riscal has 225 hectares of the indigenous Verdejo variety planted in the Rueda region that produces the very best varietal examples available.

A smooth texture and slightly crisp, bitter finish make this wine extremely pleasing and a perfect match for a good antipasto plate.
