Reviews
"By far the best Verdelhos I have tasted." James Halliday, the Australian.
"The 2002, 2003, 2004 vintages of Robert Channon Verdelho are probably the greatest lineage of this varietal in the world, Margaret River included." Peter Scudamore Smith, MW, Winestate Magazine.
"The dominance of the Channon Verdelho has been even more remarkable. It won top Queensland wine for an amazing three years running in the Courier Mail Sofitel Queensland Wine awards and is a superlative example of the variety. It has been at the forefront of why Queensland does Verdelho better than anywhere else in Australia." Ken Gargett, Courier Mail.
Since our first vintage in 2001, our Verdelhos have lead the way in establishing Verdelho as a variety that is specially suited to the Granite Belt. Our first 3 vintages won the Trophy for Queensland's Best White Wine.
Since then they have won regular gold medals, high praise from wine critics and a silver medal in London. Our currently available vintage is the 2006, which was the highest pointed Verdelho in 2 capital city shows in 2007, Brisbane and Sydney, and received a gold medal in Brisbane. Our 2007 Verdelho, just released, has won gold in the recent Queensland Wine Awards.
