Forlorn Hope
Que Saudade Verdelho
Yellow fruit, loads of minerality and a bit of funk. Kind of like that over-ripe banana with some acidity. Uniquely interesting.

Dec 13th, 2018Pale gold color. Fruit and mineral nose. Tart, sour exotic fruit, over ripe bananas, a bit of heat on the finish.

Oct 8th, 2016Nose and palate is ripe and exotic with notes of melon, pineapple, orchard blossoms, white peach, marshmallow, wet rocks, creamy pears, and soft lime notes. Palate has this balance of richness in texture and zippy acid. I don't drink enough verdelho to compare to OW but this reminds me of great chardonnay with that broad back palate and viognier with the lush texture. Super delicious. Paired really well with gnocchi w/shallots, spring herbs, cream, and parm.

May 26th, 2016Bright yellow in the glass and bright on the palate. Excellent acidity, green apple notes, some minerality. Very tasty and refreshing.
