Deen De Bortoli Vat 6 Verdelho

Say what you will about verdelho and sub-$15 wines but there’s a fresh purity to the honeydew bouquet and crunchy nashi pear palate of this little bargain. It’s dry, textural and just the thing to kick off proceedings with DIY Asian finger foods. $10 at www.winelistaustralia.com.au.
