2010 Heritage Estate Granite Belt Verdelho

Its perfume is distinctly ripe pineapple while unripe pine is on the palate where the mouthfill is stern and full. Heritage Estate is formally titled, so the matching label  isn't a surprise with gold used in a big capital lettering of H. Otherwise the label is an off-white cream and it loses much in its communication and appeal. The vineyard is in Gilmore. And verdelho is a 'flagship ' of this and other QLD wineries. The label says barrel and tank ferments take place with a use of a variety of yeast strains and lees again. So you'd expect a stern wine filling the mouth. I bought this at the July 2011 Lismore 4WD, Caravan, Camping and Marine Show, becasue the wine is not carried in any bottleshop I know of in the Nothern Rivers.
