	Gourmet Traveller - Food For Wine - Verdelho with salad
		Fig and prosciutto salad with goat's cheese toasts
		The fig and prosciutto salad with goat's cheese toasts dish was dominated by the intensity and sweetness of the figs, which was offset by the saltiness of the prosciutto and the tanginess of the goat's cheese.
		Although I haven't changed my mind, serving verdelho with food reinforced (yet again) that the best food and wine partnerships are those in which the wine underplays the food and serves as a palate cleanser rather than seeking to take centre stage.

	Verdelho - Wine Diva
		Verdelho is one of Australia's niche white wine varieties.
		Although grown on the mainland, it is most recognised for its vinification into fortified wine on the island of Madeira, producing a medium-dry style with high acidity, high alcohol and a citrus tang.
		Verdelho from Western Australia is fresh and fruity, sometimes with a honeysuckle vein.

	Gourmet Traveller - Food For Wine - Food for verdelho
		One of the rising stars is verdelho, a Portuguese white-wine variety grown principally on the volcanic island of Madeira.
		But whether made into a blend or as a varietal wine, verdelho in Australia is a very different wine from that produced on Madeira, where it is fortified during fermentation by adding alcohol in the form of brandy spirit.
		Verdelho, the most planted variety on the island, is ranked second in degree of dryness (the driest being sercial madeira, the sweetest, malmsey).

		It almost pains me to say this but there are some exceptional verdelhos among them.
		Verdelho, for better or worse, seems to be cementing its position as the premium variety for Queensland.
		Both the verdelho and the 2005 reserve chardonnay from Symphony Hill are belters.

		EEC membership brings with it restrictive regulations, such as the 1990 ruling requiring that all Madeira labeled by variety (Sercial, Bual, Verdelho and Malmsey) must be a minimum of 85 percent of the stated grape.
		Sercial, Verdelho, Bual and Malmsey are reserved for wine that is five years or older.
		Sercial and Verdelho pair beautifully with such appetizers and first courses as prosciutto, ham, pancetta, quenelles of smoked fish, roe and caviar, and duck confit.

		Verdelho has always been considered the flagship white for this winery since 1982 and has gained national recognition for its style and vineyard character.
		The intense fruit, tropical aromas and the dry finish of this young wine indicates that it will follow the pattern of past Willespie Verdelhos.
		It is a versatile style, which can be enjoyed as a young wine but will also age gracefully.

	Madeira Wine: An introduction to the Verdelho cultivar on Madeira
		It must be said that records show the Verdelho was the most difficult of all the vines in the governmental recuperation programme to reproduce.
		As all Madeira wines, verdelho wines are characteristically sweet, but with a touch of dryness to it.
		On a scale of tartaric acid levels the Verdelho (8,5) sits between the Malvasia (10,5) and the Tinta Negra Mole ((7,0).

		Much and all as I might wish this to be the case it is simply not so and while these three may have managed to expand their niche market here in Ireland in recent years, they are still just that: niche wines.
		The consumer is presented with one unusual, perhaps unknown, name but right beside it is probably the best known grape name in the world to lend reassurance that this wine is not too far from the mainstream.
		Although, as a region, it produces less than three per cent of the national total, it attracts a disproportionate amount of favourable publicity, mainly because its wines have a finesse and elegance that set them apart from many of their more muscular cousins to the east.

	Cocktail - The Alchemist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Madeira is produced from four main types of grapes: Verdelho and Sercial, the dry varieties, and Malvasia and Bual (or Boal), the sweeter, richer grapes.
		Sercial and Malvasia, also known as Malmsey, are wines produced from vines that don't have many grapes and take longer to mature.
		Verdelhos tend to be rounder and darker than Sercials, but they have a tasty bitter finish that still qualifies them as an aperitif.

		The Verdelho is more fruit-forward, again the mouthfeel is complex showing more spice alongside passionfruit and melon.
		The approach suits the pristine environment well and the first releases of white wines, a cortese and a verdelho, were fresh, flavorsome young things of good character.
		The release of their 2000 Cortese and 2000 Verdelho at the Wine Australia exhibition in November captured a disproportionate amount of attention among the countless other wines on display.

		Harvest began earlier than usual with Semillon, Chardonnay and Verdelho due to the unusually dry season.
		There were no significant rain events during January and February with continued warm to hot weather resulting in a lower than expected yield.The Semillon wines are fresh and limey with a crisp acid backbone and show great potential to mature into classics.
		Verdelho and Chardonnay have plenty of fruit weight with our two Verdelhos (Limited Release and “Australia Range”) looking close to, or at the best we have ever produced.

		Verdelho It took the Australians to realize the potential of this white grape.
		In Europe it was largely confined to Portugaul where it is called the Gouveio and Madeira, from which island it was almost wiped out by Phylloxera though a little is still used in producing fine Madeiras.
		Jancis Robinson describes the New World Verdelhos as: "vibrant, tangy, full-bodied".

		It is no easy task to invest Verdelho with much character, but Peter Howland has tried hard and successfully with this wine.
		Light to medium green-yellow; while no particular character dominates the bouquet, it has distinctly greater complexity than most Verdelhos.
		The palate provides the same structure, with gently ripe fruit and subliminal hints of vanilla.

		Some younger ones can be a better value than Malmsey of the same age.
		Paler in color than the dark amber of the sweeter wines, Verdelho has a lighter sweetness level but it is still an after-dinner wine, excellent with nut tarts, delicate cakes and savory cheeses such as aged Gouda?especially if lightly cooled on hot summer nights (but not chilled).
		Its crisp off-dry character is delightful to sip and often accompanies a soup course.

		This one is the Wilt Chamberlain though, whereas the Verdelho is only the Karl Malone.

		At least 35,000 bottles will be the result of this bottling run.
		The bottling run involves several white wine varieties (including Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, as well as Traminers, Rieslings, Verdelhos and Semillons) as well as the two red varieties Shiraz and Cabernet.
		The third bottling run, which will occur in November, will bottle red wines that have had extended maturation in oak, something that is common for red wines at the premium end of the market because longer maturation in oak generally softens the wine.

	GENOTYPING OF VITIS CULTIVARS USED FOR THE PRODUCTION OF VQPRD AND VLQPRD IN THE AZORES BY MICROSATELLITE MARKERS
		In this study microsatellite (SSR) markers were used to characterize the different grapevine cultivars admitted and recommended for the production of the regional wines in the Azores.
		12 SSR loci were employed to genotype the main cultivars (Arinto, Verdelho branco, Verdelho roxo, Terrantêz and Saborinho) used for the production of VQPRD (Quality Wine Produced in Specified Region) and VLQPRD (Liquor Wine Produced in a Denominated Region) in the Azores and a local rootstock (RL).
		Furthermore, Ramisco (a cultivar from the Portuguese mainland used for the production of a typical wine in Colares), a third Verdelho used in Madeira, that might have been originally introduced for the production of Verdelho in the Azorean islands, and Boal, also from Madeira, were included.
