Draytons Heritage Vines Liqueur Verdelho 500ml
- Unit price
- / per
Verdelho isn't a grape you usually see fortified, which is part of what makes this one worth the shelf space. Draytons grow and harvest it on their own estate, then blend it through their solera system to an average age of 25 years. It's collected 12 trophies at the Hunter Valley Wine Show along the way — a solid track record for a style this niche.
See the tasting note below for the full breakdown — good on its own, good with dessert, good on a cheese platter.

Draytons Family Wines has been making wine in Pokolbin, in the Hunter Valley, since 1853 — the oldest winery in the district and one of the oldest family-run wineries in Australia still on its original site. Six generations in, the fortified range draws on decades-deep reserve stock held in their own cellars, some of it more than a century old, worked continuously through a traditional solera system. It's this reserve depth — rare for an Australian producer at this scale — that the Heritage Vines and Old Decanter wines below are built from.
A liqueur wine made from Verdelho grown and harvested on Draytons' own estate, aged 25 years on average. It's picked up 12 trophies at the Hunter Valley Wine Show — the kind of drop that gets asked for again by name.
