The fortified range from Bleasdale is world class. The grapes for the Rare
Verdelho are sourced from their Barrel Shed Block, planted in 1930, before given
a minimum of 16 years maturation in oak barrels stashed high up in the cellar’s
rafters to encourage evaporation and concentration. Langhorne Creek’s cool
coastal climate creates maturation conditions that allow for a unique freshness
and acidity to be retained that sets the Rare Verdelho apart from other
fortified wines. A luxurious texture balances this acidity, with a hit of lemon
and lime marmalade and citrus peel. A bottle won’t last long through the cold
winter nights but drink this all year round as a digestif.
