Vintage Conditions Vineyards are selected for fruit subtlety and finesse. On the valley floor these are generally East through to South facing slopes. In the upper Yarra Valley, the aspect is not so critical.
91 Points "Another masterful wine from De Bortoli. The blending of vintages and extended time on lees all add up to a wine of complexity and true sparkling-wine style. Old oak adds a nice touch." Ray Jordan, West Australian, December 2015
Guava tropical fruit and fresh clean apple. Well balanced. Good length - the acid carries it well. An easy drinking wine. Drinks Trade, National, September 2015
