Staff Pick Notes

100% Verdelho. Picture it – Swan Valley, just outside of Perth. The “Old Block” Verdelho is being handpicked in the cool, misty morning. This block was planted from cuttings Cath Edwards of Ashbrook Estate thinks her uncle may have smuggled down in 1976 from the oldest vines planted in the valley by way of Madeira. Not only does this crisp, un-wooded wine have history, it has the ability to age (if you want it to). Right now it shows off freshly cut apples and pears and lemon oil. However, it also hints at a waxy and lightly honey-suckled finish, which will become more expressive with bottle age. Pair with Thai food. Ashbrook Estate is an essential winery to Margaret River. They are practicing organic and family owned and operated since 1975.

The Shiraz form Margaret River faithfully reflects its microclimate, yielding medium-bodied, spicy, peppery...
