David Traeger wines were established at Nagambie in the 1980s, after a highly distinguished stewardship at neighbouring Mitchelton. Traeger now sits on the board of directors at the hugely successful Dromana Estate. He remains passionate about producing elegant and distinctive vintages, which articulate the unique personality of Victoria's great winegrowing regions. Crafted from the pick of Goulburn and Nagambie fruit, David Trager endures as one of the nation's most widely recognized pure varietal whites, arguably the finest Verdelho in the land.
Something of a signature for David Traeger, his Verdelho remains a stylistic hallmark for Australia. The unique qualities of the Verdelho grape as vinified by the likes of Traeger have achieved a national marketing edge. Fruit is sourced from specialised sites which are husbanded to yield grapes which can meet the exacting standards of a demanding winemaker, the Avenel vineyard at Nagambie Lakes and from good sites throughout central Victoria. Bottled early without any oak, all handling is completely reductive to aid in retaining vibrant fruit character.
TASTING NOTES
Greenish gold hues. Crisp clear bouquet, lemon and lime aromas, a touch of white peach and lingering spice. Mouthfilling palate brimming flavours of crisp, cool climate orchard fruit, juicy acidity and length, before lingering, stylish finish. Drinking beautifully right now alongside all good food.

About David Traeger Winery
David Traeger is known throughout Australia for making one of the nation's most popular Verdelho wines
Following an award winning history at Michelton, Traeger struck out on his own, and was met with immediate success. David Traeger established his operation at the Nagambie Lakes of central Victoria in 1978, focussing on Shiraz and Verdelho. Nagambie Lakes is a sub-region of the Goulburn Valley, located in the south along the Goulburn River. The soils formed on the banks of the Goulburn River are red brown, clay loams of moderate fertility with ridges of red sandy loams thrown up by the river system and more ironstone deposits located to the west.
