Vibrant | Refreshing | Complex

The Faber Verdelho is a bright, expressive Swan Valley white that shows just how compelling warm-climate white winemaking can be when handled with precision. Made from cold-fermented free-run juice, it delivers vibrant fruit, freshness and subtle complexity in a style that is both immediately appealing and capable of rewarding some bottle age. Expect stone fruit, citrus and a gentle mineral edge, all carried by lively acidity and a clean, persistent finish. It is the kind of white that feels generous yet refreshing at the same time, making it a standout choice for warm days, seafood and easy entertaining. Ray Jordan rated the 2023 release 95 points and called it one of the best examples he could recall.

“Sensational! This year’s Verdelho is an absolute standout, with free-run juice contributing to its crisp, crunchy character. Aromas of stone fruit, cumquat, and orange zest. The palate bursts with nectarine and citrus, finishing with sustained complexity.”

Halliday Wine Review92 Points
“Verdelho is often overlooked, but in the hands of a maestro, this wine shines. With tropical fruitiness, depth, texture, and poise, it balances medium-weight fleshiness with chalky minerality and finishes luxuriously with spice and herbal notes. A triumph!”
