Mollydooker's Summer of ’69 Early Pick Verdelho wine is a splendid exemplar of Australian viticulture. Hailing from the sun-kissed vineyards of McLaren Vale, this luscious white varietal exhibits a bright, golden hue. On the nose, it emanates lively tropical notes and fragrant blossoms, reflecting Verdelho's exotic lineage. A sip reveals a refreshing melange of pineapple, lime and melon, elegantly balanced by an underlying minerality. This medium-bodied vintage possesses a stirring acidity that adds vivacity and lift to the palate. Its finesse, complexity and fruit-forward character makes this Verdelho a superb companion for seafood fare and warm summer evenings.

Tasting Notes
