About This Wine
Verdelho originates from the Iberian Peninsula. Plantings of this grape on Portugal’s mid-Atlantic island of Madeira produced fruit that winemakers used to make an off-dry fortified wine. The attractiveness of this wine, not to mention its strong global adaptability and long history of successful plantings in New South Wales, inspired Wild Horse to plant this grape on the Wild Horse Estate in 1997 with our first bottling in 2000.
Wine Profile
Vintage: 2008
Wine Type: White Wine
Appellation: Paso Robles
PH: 3.49
Alcohol %: 14.5
Tasting Notes: 92 % Verdelho, 8% Chardonnay

The 2008 Verdelho is full of citrus and peach notes in the nose with pleasing minerality and balanced acidity in the mouth.

Winemaker Notes: Estate grown, the fruit was whole-cluster pressed and free run was separated from hard press. The juice was settled for 24 hours and then racked to another stainless steel tank where it was yeast inoculated. Fermentation took place for 15 days at 60°F until dry. No malolactic fermentation took place.
Food Pairing: Enjoy this wine as an aperitif or with mahi-mahi and halibut grilled over an open fire, accentuated with lemon and thyme.
Production: Only 290 cases produced.
