De Bortoli is a well established Australian winemaking brand that is beloved locally and internationally. The family immigrated from Treviso, Italy after the first world war to Griffith, New South Wales, Australia. Vittorio and his finacé Giuseppina started out as fruit farmers. Winemaking came about organically when one season there was a surplus of Shiraz grapes so he decided to crush and make wine out of them rather than let them rot. The local Italians and other European expats offered to buy wine off him and eventually De Bortoli wines were born. The later generations continued to innovate and expand the family’s vitivulture and winemaking legacy throughout Australia. Today De Bortoli Wines owns four wineries in four different Australian regions and is still family operated.
Tasting Notes
Pale straw with a green tinge. Bright early picked peach and melon notes carry onto a weighty palate, culminating in a fresh and crisp finish with the most interesting of cashewy oak nuances. Excellent balance of fruit, freshness and a whisper of oak. Pair this Chardonnay with seafood, grilled chicken, creamy pasta dishes.
Method
This wine was fermented cool over a two week period. Selected parcels were fermented with the inclusion of our house select fine French oak. Once fermentation was complete the wines were matured on fine yeast lees over 7 months to build palate weight.
