Verdelho
Fenestra 2011 Silvaspoons Vineyard Verdelho (Lodi)
- $16
Fenestra, an estimable producer of obscure Spanish and Portugese varieties in California, does not disappoint with this Verdelho. Like a just-ripe pineapple, the wine is high in acidity and savory in strong tones of lemon and lime. Clean and fresh, it pairs well with seafood.

Abbey Vale 1999 Verdelho (Margaret River)
- $16
Verdelho is a grape from Iberia that the Aussies are increasingly working with. The lime and herb qualities in this offering are attractive, and the mouthfeel is slightly chalky, in a positive manner. Tangy, with a sweet-spicy finish, this is an appealing, somewhat softer alternative to Sauvignon Blanc.

Browns of Padthaway 2002 Estate Grown Verdelho (Padthaway)
- $13
Bright green-gold in color, with aromas as disparate as fresh green pea and chili spice. On the palate, there’s more fresh green peas (odd flavor, but pleasant) swimming in a sea of bright yellow fruit. Medium in body; finish is somewhat abrupt.

Stevenot 2003 Verdelho
- $16
You could easily mistake this for a Sauvignon Blanc, with its lemonade-citrus aromas. It has intense lemon and lime flavors that skirt the edge of sweetness, but high acidity provides a tart edge of balance.

- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Offers good structure and juicy stone fruit at a giveaway price. This dry white is medium-sized, with straw and nut accents to its ripe stone fruit flavors. Offers meaty, nutty accents on the nose, too. A fine introduction to a variety that is just making its way in the U.S.

Lovely and aromatic, perfumed with summer daisy flowers, night-blooming jasmine, pineapples, apricots and vanilla flavors. With crisp, balancing acidity, it’s a great alternative to Sauvignon Blanc. Best Buy.

Fenestra 2006 Silvaspoons Vineyard Verdelho (Lodi)
- $15
Verdelho is one of those new varieties imported from old Europe that’s providing a badly needed shot in the arm for California, namely, the need for crisply acidic, dry whites. It’s a zesty, refreshing wine, with lemon-honey, peach and vanilla flavors.
