ABOUT THE WINE
Verdelho, a once ubiquitous grape on the island of Madeira, was all but wiped out by Phylloxera. Elevated to noble status at the beginning of the 20th Century, Verdelho is grown mainly on the north end of the island, where it is planted close to the ground as opposed to on trellises, Verdelho usually produces a medium-dry wine which develops hints of smokiness as it ages.

Layla's Pick
Avery’s Verdelho from the collection of Alejandro Zaffaroni, a man who knew a thing or two about great wine. These madeiras are truly stunning and offered for quite a bargain as well.
