Lamont’s has always sourced Verdelho from the same vineyard block at the front of Lamont’s Swan Valley property.  However due to the popularity of this wine 2007 has seen an increase in production and hence the need to source more fruit.  So, for the first time we have used a small, yet sensational parcel of Verdelho from the Chittering region, McCusker vineyard.

Fermentation: The Lamont’s parcel of Verdelho was hand harvested, while the McCusker’s Verdelho was machine harvested in the cool of the night.  Both parcels were kept separate for individual assessment but were cool fermented in stainless steel tanks to retain the delicate fruit characters.

Quantity:                  500 cases

Colour:                      Pale but vibrant with a green hue.

Bouquet:                   Lifted citrus characters of lemon sherbet and underlying notes of tinned pineapple

Palate:                      Luscious fruit salad balanced with crisp citric acids
