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, come from both the main land and the islands where the Verdelho grape is grown. Only three vineyards that we know of grow this grape in California and we are very fortunate that our master wine maker has found us enough superb grapes to produce 300 cases of this outstanding wine that will be a signature of the Vezér family white wine line. Verdelho has a very light oak, not to overcome the simply delightful berry taste. The aroma of peaches, pears and apples all make your head dizzy with excitement. Yet as with all Vezer wines you are surprised that a wine this smooth is not that sweet, it actually finishes off similar to the better known Pinot Grigio or the now popular unoaked Pinot Grigio.
