Bremerton Verdelho 2006

Variety: 100% Verdelho
Country of origin: Australia
Wine appellation: Langhorne Creek, South Australia
Vintage: 2006
Alcohol content: 13.5%
Color: light to medium yellow
Bouquet: mineral, lime, hint of bottle maturity
Taste: medium body, amazing freshness considering the vintage, lime, green apple, hint of white grapefruit, minerality and hint of bottle tones, medium to long slightly astringent finish
Recommended food pairing: fish
Overall score: 4+7+11+6+6=84
Price: CZK 250 on sale
Stopper: screw cap
So far I tasted 2007 vintage and I found in original box of 12 wines one bottle of 2006 vintage, which accompanied our pasta and tuna lunch. What is strange is the color of the wine, which does not correlate with the age of the wine. Also there are zero oxidative tones  present, which again is partly due to screw cap and I would guess also mineral profile and wine making techniques as I already had oxidized wines sealed by screw cap.
