About the Producer

Fruit is harvested from predominately our own vineyards and from selected growers that have produced Botrytis Semillon especially for De Bortoli Wines for many years. Experiencing a warm dry summer the botrytis didn’t appear until after rains in early May. Some foggy mornings and further showers of rain enabled the botrytis to spread throughout the dedicated vineyards and harvest kicked off in late May.

Each vineyard is harvested, fermented and matured separately as they each have their own characteristics. This enables us to capture all the elements we are looking for in this wine. Elegance, fruitfulness and a touch of oak.

Ageing

20% fermented with French oak with the remainder unoaked.

Food Pairing

Almond tart, Pavlova with a lemon topping or with a bowl of Fresh Strawberries and Cream.
