Nikola Estate Verdelho
It stands to reason that if the Chenin is good, then the Verdelho will be just as impressive—and here’s the proof. The Nikola Estate Verdelho of 2023 bursts with super punchy and vibrant flavours that leap from the nose and seamlessly transition onto the palate. Expect a delightful medley of tropical fruits, including luscious melon and juicy pear, all accented by a refreshing hint of lemon rind. This wine is pure and fragrant, showcasing abundant flavour that lingers beautifully on the long finish.
The vintage of 2023 was marked by warmer conditions compared to previous years, which allowed the harvest to commence at the beginning of January. These optimal conditions resulted in excellent fruit ripeness from well-managed vineyard blocks, ensuring the quality and intensity of the grapes.
Hailing from the Swan Valley, this Verdelho is crafted entirely from the region’s renowned fruit. For this wine, the grapes were picked from our 1958 plantings and made using 100% free-run grape juice. The winemaking process involved a cool fermentation lasting 14 days with VL2 yeast, after which the wine was filtered and bottled in July 2022. Tasting notes reveal lifted aromas of honeysuckle, ripe citrus, fresh figs, and quince paste. On the palate, it presents a wonderfully explosive array of waxy tropical fruit, melon, nashi pear, and luscious lemon butter, culminating in a persistently alluring finish.
This Verdelho has already received accolades, including a Bronze Medal at the Perth Royal Wine Show 2022 and an impressive 94 points from Ray Jordan in WA Wine: Review. With its vibrant character and refreshing profile, this wine is sure to please those who seek a true expression of the Swan Valley’s unique terroir.
