2005 Verdelho

DOUBLE GOLD AWARD

A beautiful white wine that honors the long Portuguese

family history that my wife Gloria and I share in common.

Gloria’s family the Duarte’s and my mother’s family, the

Olivera’s, comes from both the main land and the Madeira

Islands. Only a handful of vineyards that we know, grow

this grape in California. This Verdelho has a very light

integrated oak presence not to overcome the simply

delightful honeysuckle taste. The aroma of peaches, pears,

and apples all make for an exquisite experience. Yet as with

all Vezér wines you are surprised that a wine this smooth is

not that sweet, it actually finishes off similar to the better

known and popular Chardonnay.
