We find that the Stroud “Terroir” is just right for producing quality Verdelho. We maintain careful attention to soil, microclimate and vineyard management so that our artful winemaker receives quality hand-picked grapes late in January each year.
Our winemaker is Adrian Sheridan from Calais Estate in the lower Hunter Valley who has a great reputation for making quality white wines. Adrian shares our belief in a drive for quality and distinctiveness. Adrian utilises our preferred commitment to a slow and cool fermentation period to ensure that Gap Hill Verdelho retains maximum fruit flavour when fermented to dryness.
The Hunter Region is known for its distinctive Verdelhos. Our northern Stroud Verdelho tends towards crispness compared to the fuller style of the more southerly Pokolbin Verdelhos.
