Visitors to winery cellar doors in South Australia often run into this attractive white variety, where it has an enthusiastic following for the weight and zip it brings, especially in McLaren Vale, and there's even a little in the Hawke's Bay too. Otherwise, it's main claim to fame is as one of the four famous grapes of Madeira, performing as the off-dry style after dry Sercial but with less weight and sweetness than Bual. It is a high-yielding, early ripening variety that seems to have been present on the mainland of Portugal for hundreds of years before its long–standing association with the fortified wines from the island of Madeira. Verdelho should not be confused with the Italian grape Verdello or the Spanish white grape Verdejo grown the Rueda DO in particular.

We've always been fans of Languedoc reds, and having tried this for the first time we are much taken with this example of southern whites. Beautiful balance of acidity and freshness. This will be on our repeat shopping list like Villa Blanche.
Although this is a new vintage for us, it never fails to delight. Full of lovely crisp Grenache flavour. We bought it for summer and starting drinking it in mid-winter!!
Clear cab sav and merlot on the nose, clean not complex. Soft tannins and good fruit moderately sustained.. Clean finish. Good oak handling. Certainly not a platinum whatever that is but good silver and excellent value for the money
A great bridge between commercial and premium, plus it's a good conversation starter! 5 stars at the current discounted price.

Cabra Cega Lisboa Vinho Tinto 2019 Graham B.
Great Value
At its price, one of the best reds I have tasted. The experience is consistent with the bottle notes, fruity, balanced with a hint of oak and a long finish.
