Faber Vineyard Verdelho 2024

Critically Acclaimed
Ray Jordan Review – 95 Points
“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 Review – 92 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!”

I have been buying my wines from Kirk for about two years now and I have never had a bad experience or wine. I love the fact that the wines are all West Australian, so supporting local and lower carbon footprint. He delivers when it’s convenient for me and brings the wine to my door.  Wines are all good quality and well priced, especially the cleanskins. Highly recommended

I've been ordering from Partners in Wine for three years now - from the UK for my sister living in Perth. Each time they've been bang on with my order including  on time delivery. Kirk has also helped me select my wines from an extensive list.  A very pleasant and friendly company to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
