Description

Pale Lemon yellow with a subtle green hue. Generous aromas of white flowers and tropical fruit. Ripe rock melon with gooseberry adds layers of intrigue to the nose. The palate is alive with tropical flavours and ripe citrus with underlying stone fruit all powered by supple yet juicy acidity. No need to cellar this wine, just enjoy. Full flavoured with plenty of zest, this is Hunter Verdelho at its best.

• Vintage Notes

  After the resent drought culminating in the 2020 bushfires, the wet winter and spring of 2020 was a welcoming relief. The soil and the vines were given a much need reprieve and while the financial pressure the Hunter’s Vignerons endured tested everyone in the Valley the crop yields for the 2021 harvest were a small win. With grapes delivering record yields, it with the Growers with the knowledge and experience who got those crops ripe. Vineyard health and good management saw Bonvilla harvesting grapes in top condition with excellent flavour. Semillon and the other whites look exceptional and while the Reds are lighter framed, they will result in some classic medium bodied Hunter styles.
