This Merlot displays a bright red hue, with notes of red cherry, and hints of plum. A fleshy palate, with firm yet balanced tannin structure giving length and fullness. A soft, attractive medium-bodied Merlot.
Average rains during winter and early spring benefited good vine health and good fruitfulness. A mild growing season with no prolonged heatwaves was perfect ripening conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon. With a steady increase in maturity levels allowing the fruit to retain good varietal characteristics and to be harvested at the optimum ripeness and flavour.
The harvesting of fruit is timed to achieve a harmonious balance between freshness of fruit, as well as ripeness of tannins. Fermented on skins for 7 days at 23-27°C. A portion of French oak was used during maturation.
A celebration of our Italian roots, planted in Australian soil. Enjoyed internationally, these wines reflect the styles of wine that have been appreciated by the De Bortoli family for four generations.
Food Pairing: Enjoy with your favourite pasta, chicken parmigiana or Chinese style crispy duck pancakes.
