Cor palha brilhante. Aroma a flores brancas, fruta bastante madura, madeiras cremosas, algo lactico. Em boca redondo, fruta, saboroso, macio e bastante amplo. Excelente Verdelho.

NobleRottersSydney - Spanish Acquisition (Alio's, Surry Hills): [12.5% cork, A$60] Pale lemon/straw colour. A youthful nose of spicy, almost oily aromas. There’s some barel-ferment here, which doesn’t really smell of oak on the nose, but seems to give the aromas a real density somehow. There are more solids characters in the texture of the wine, with its orange-skin/tangerine flavours, mixed with a kind of spiciness, but never tasting oaky. There are soft dusty tannins to the palate too; this is dry and savoury, medium-full in body, and again evenly present along the palate. It’s let down a little by a slightly short finish, which can’t quite do justice to the weight of the flavours, and just seems a little out of character, but that’s the only shortcoming here. An interesting wine, but I think it’s probably for the shorter term.
