Deen De Bortoli VAT 8 Shiraz Single Bottle

De Bortoli is one of the most famous family names in Australian winemaking, renowned throughout the world as producing high quality wines of character. The Deen Vat series is a new range which offers good varietal character and great value for money.

Winemaking:

Vineyards are carefully selected for a balance of fruit weight and ripeness. Harvest is carried out in the cool of the morning. Fruit is then carefully destemmed into Potters and fermented at 25-30?°C over 7-8 days. Pressed, racked and matured in new and older hogs head barrels for 12 months. Approximately 30% was kept in tank to retain those lovely fruits to blend with the oak matured portions.

Tasting Note:

Big dark colour in the glass with blackberry fruit on the nose and an excellent concentrated, but balanced mouthful to follow. Richly smooth, rounded with a peppery tang - designed for hearty meat and vegetable dishes.

Ageing Potential: 5 Years
