Verdelho

1973 Madeira Verdelho

The Cossart Gordon Verdelho from the exquisite Madeira region is a charming white wine that showcases the unique attributes of the Verdelho varietal. This 1973 vintage presents a delightful balance of medium body and refreshing acidity, which together create an invigorating mouthfeel. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing notes of citrus and stone fruit, perfectly complemented by a hint of honey. With a dryness that leans towards off-dry, this wine offers a satisfying richness without overwhelming the palate. Boasting a lovely harmony of flavors, the Cossart Gordon Verdelho is a splendid choice for those seeking a classic expression of Madeira's winemaking heritage.

Best known for its port dessert wine, Portugal is also home to some seriously worthwhile—though frequently overlooked—red and white table wines. This small country on the Iberian Peninsula has a wide range of climates, allowing it to produce everything from light and crisp whites in the Atlantic-cooled northwest to ripe and juicy reds in the hot and hilly Douro Valley. What often sets apart Portuguese wines is that they are often made from local grapes rather than more familiar international varieties. Difficult to pronounce (but a joy to drink!), common varietals include Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cão, and Loureiro.
