2003 Wordsworth Family Estate Verdelho

This wine is drinking very well. Brilliant straw colour with pale straw hue. The nose is exotic, with aroma of spice and ripe pear followed by hints of mango and talc. The texture is very creamy, almost oily in fact. The palate delivers an interesting juxtaposition of lemon and pear flavours overlaid with tropical fruit in the background. The acidity is holding up, aftertaste of lemon, pear and tropical fruit.
