Structured, taut whites with precise acidity and a slender mouth, featuring aromas of citrus (lemon, orange peel), dried fruits, toasted almond, Mediterranean herbs and pronounced saline notes. A historic pillar of medium-dry Madeira (one of the island's four classic noble grapes) where it develops complex oxidative notes. Also as structured dry whites in Douro DOC and Australia (Hunter Valley). Native Portuguese grape, unrelated to Spanish Verdejo.
