The grapes come from mature vineyards at Dixons Creek, Yarra Glen, Tarrawarra and Woori Yallock, each vineyard hand-picked, the grapes fermented separately before maturation in new and used oak for 10 months. A rich and satisfying pinot noir, full of plum and black cherry fruit, spice and ripe tannins.

4½ stars points The Real Review
One of the best-value pinot noirs around, this elegant wine belies its price tag, due to both the economies of scale and expertise avaialable at De Bortoli''s large Yarra outpost. Cherry, spice and blossom meet the nose, while a silky texture, delicate plummy flavour, and a sustained, fragrant finish mark the palate.
