I am a sucker for a cool label and with Mollydooker’s strong reputation I figured I’d pick up a bottle of this one.
In a word: big. It reminds me of a Sauvignon Blanc on steroids.
The nose hits you with pineapple.
Though it’s somewhat creamy, I get lots of pineapple, white grapefruit, some herbal notes, and a nice amount of acid. It’s fruity, but not sweet.
The finish has an alcohol burn (no shock–15% alcohol) and I’m getting papaya.
I’ve never had a Verdelho before so I have nothing to compare this to, but this one is big and heavy.
I prefer my whites lighter and crisper, so this one just isn’t my style. If you like big, bold whites I’d recommend it. If you’re like me and enjoy Riesling and the like, avoid this one.
