By Farr Shiraz, Geelong, Australia 2020 Madeira Verdelho The ripe pear and honeydewYouthful and bright in the glass. Beautiful, lifted aromas of blueberry, spice, cola, sap, nutmeg oak and dried flowers. Mid weight, bright and lively on the palate, full of blue fruits, spice, bramble and briar. Theres real purity and poise and the tannins and acidity are en pointe. Absolutely delicious! 97 pts Aaron Brasher
