Verdelho
Cristobal 1492 2004 Verdelho (Mendoza)
- $10
Floral and different, with papaya, peach and melon. This is not Spanish-style Verdejo, which is much more racy and acidic. This one is soft, smooth, a bit flat and flabby, but nonetheless it grows on you. Imported by Global Wine Imports LLC.

Oreana 2005 Verdelho
- Online Exclusive
- $22
An interesting wine, different from anything you’ve tasted in more familiar varieties. The wine is high in acid, creating a peppery taste behind the smoky, citrus and dried herb flavors. Finishes a bit too sweet to be called dry, though.

Lady Grace 2006 Verdelho (Lodi)
- $16
On the rustic side, with medicinal lemon cough drop flavors. On the other hand, the dryness and savory crispness argue in its favor. Pretty good, but overpriced for what you get.

Fox Creek 2007 Verdelho (McLaren Vale)
- $18
A relatively simple, fruity wine that boasts melon and pineapple flavors and aromas. It’s medium in body and pleasantly tart and citrusy on the finish, just lacks complexity. Drink now.

Dancing Coyote 2007 Verdelho (Clarksburg)
- Online Exclusive
- $11
Fruity and rich in oranges, pineapples, honeysuckles and spices, and with fine, crisp acidity, this white wine from the Sacramento Delta area is distinctly sweet. It tastes like marmalade in the form of wine.

Hope Estate 2009 Verdelho (Hunter Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
This starts off slightly rubbery, but comes around quickly enough to display ample white grapefruit and pith notes. It’s a bit tight and austere from start to finish; probably at its best with seafood.

Abbey Vale 2000 Verdelho (Margaret River)
- $14
Banana, cream and a hint of cilantro characterize this Verdelho’s nose. The palate is, at first, bright and lively with hints of cream; a split second later, it is supertart. Finish is bitter, with an odd metallic flavor.

De Iuliis 1999 Show Reserve Verdelho (Hunter Valley)
- $9
Smells and tastes a bit like poached pear in a vanilla sauce. Rich and unctuous on the palate, with a tart, metallic finish.
