Verdelho is a Granite Belt speciality and the label of this Summit Estate wine says it's their signature wines. This has a sweet, piquant perfume with some passionfruit. It's pale lemon in colour. On the palate it's light-bodied, dry, but nevertheless has depth and texture, reminding you of what it's like to drink a wooded chardonnay, as the memory of it remains on the palate: coconut, or bubblegum like that blue milkshake flavour. The winery says at 900 mt above sea level, it's one of the highest and coolest vineyards in Australia.
On another drinking later I found the colour to be very, very pale, almost colourless; pine in the perfume, and maybe a little stone fruit such as apricot or peach; very dry and citrusy on the palate, acidic and astringent. Available at Dan Murphy's Ballina. $16.15.
