Verdelho

Complex and Age Worthy

Verdelho is a white grape variety that is grown primarily in Portugal and Spain. It is one of the four noble grapes used to produce Madeira. The grape is also used to make dry white wines in Australia, particularly in the Hunter Valley region. The history of Verdelho can be traced back to the 15th century when Portuguese explorers brought it to the island of Madeira from Crete. The grape quickly gained popularity due to its ability to produce high-quality wines that were well-suited for aging.
