Verdelho Grape Variety Charctertistics
Crack open a bottle of Verdelho, and you’re hit with a huge burst of tropical paradise. Think juicy pineapple, ripe mango, and a hint of citrus zest that add that extra beautiful zing. It’s like taking a whiff of summer in a glass! As well as a subtle floral vibe going on too, like a bouquet of sunshine!
Now, onto the good stuff- the taste test! Verdelho has an easy-going medium bodied feel to it, with just the right amount of zingy acidity to be able to keep things really interesting. It’s like a tropical fruit explosion on your palate, with pineapple, guava, and a splash of citrus stealing the show. And the finish? Crisp, clean, and oh-so-refreshing. Trust us, you’ll be reaching for another sip in no time.
What is a good wine without some good grub to go with it? Verdelho’s your absolute go-to for seafood feasts- think things along the lines of grilled shrimp, seafood paella, or a fresh ceviche. It’s like they were made for each other! And if you’re feeling fancy, why not pair it with some creamy Brie or a Camembert? The sharp contrast between the cheese and the wine’s acidity is pure magic and works in perfect harmony with one another!
But of course there’s more to it than that, Verdelho isn’t just a one trick pony. It’s also a match made in heaven with spicy Asian cuisine. Try pairing a steaming bowl of thai curry paired with a chilled glass of Verdelho- a flavour explosion! And if you’re in the mood for something a little bit lighter, why not whip up a fresh summer salad with mango, avocado, and a tangy citrus dressing? Verdelho’s vibrant acidity will cut through the richness of the avocado nd elevate the flavours to new.
