Bremerton Mollie & Merle Verdelho 2008
It might finish just a little spirity and briny, but this is a racy, generously flavoured verdelho whose pleasingly intense fruit is wrapped up by a zippy acidity. A lightly spicy, floral fragrance of fresh guava, melon, pear and a hint of tropical fruits precedes a round, juicy palate whose tangy fruit and lemony undertones overlie a fine chalkiness. Long and savoury.

Winery
Bremerton
Bremerton is a maker of very ripe, intensely fruited, generously oaked and affordable red wines suited to immediate enjoyment. Recent years have seen a pleasing refinement, as the wines now appear more elegant and less chunky, with an improved sense of balance and elegance, but without compromising an iota of flavour. As they become more elegant, they're able to cellar for longer. Bremerton is refocusing its white wine endeavours towards Italian varieties.
