Here, 25% Verdelho is an unexpected component to a typical Sem-Chard blend, and the overall result is a very pleasing one. This is a fresh, clean white, with pear and Granny Smith apple flavors and a flinty-chalky feel. Great for the outdoors, and priced reasonably enough to keep a few extras around the house.
