"Remarkably consistent over the years. From the early and somewhat difficult 2011 vintage, it is made into a tight and tart style that is ideal as an aperitif now but will become more adaptable for different foods."
Ray Jordan, The West Australian - Top 100 Wines, December 2011
Bronze - 2011 International Wine & Spirit Competition
The wine has a light straw colour with lovely green hues. This leads to lively floral aromas and fresh green herbs give way to citrus and tropical characters. There is fruit-driven palate with nettle and green melon notes that finish with a silky soft texture.
53% of the fruit is from De Bortoli cool climate vineyard in the King Valley. The other 47% is from four select old vineyards in the Riverina. Winemaking techniques included fermentation at elevated temperatures and fermentation with solids. These techniques improve texture and softness without sacrificing varietal expression. Wine was left on yeast lees ‘Sur lie’ for 3 month prior to blending
