Notes sourced from De Bortoli

A combination of winemaking techniques including cold maceration before fermentation, whole bunch addition and warm fermentation are used to produce a final blend with complexity and balance. This wine was then matured in French oak barriques before blending and fining. Minimal handling and filtration is adopted to preserve fruit flavour.

Tasting Note: Medium red with purple hues. Complex cherry-like pinot fruit aroma with light oak influences. The palate shows concentrated fruit with strong strawberry/spice flavours and hints of maceration. The wine is balanced by soft, silky tannins which add texture and length.
