De Bortoli Shiraz Viognier

Notes - Family owned De Bortoli Wines is one of Australia's largest private companies. It was established in 1928 by Vittorio & Giuseppina De Bortoli and expanded by their son, third-generation in the wine trade, Deen De Bortoli. Their Yarra Valley Shiraz Viognier is sourced from the De Bortoli family vineyards at Dixon’s Creek in the cool-climate Yarra Valley. The mature, low yielding vines deliver exceptional quality fruit to the winery. This is preserved during winemaking with gentle, low intervention techniques to produce wine with varietal detail and purity. The idea is to create wine with a ‘sense of place’ or, as the French would say, "Terroir". It is vibrant purple in colour and has a nose which is rich, with lifted perfumed white pepper Shiraz and subliminal complex floral notes from the Viognier. Full fruit palate with berries, pepper and subtle appearance of oak. The small addition of Viognier has contributed complexity to the overall flavour of the wine. The wine will continue to develop complexity for 4 - 8 years in a good cellar. Perfect with dishes such as Pepper Steak or Braised Lamb.
