Winery Tasting Notes

Deen De Bortoli was a true visionary in the Australian wine industry, whose mission was to create quality wine for everyone to enjoy. The ‘DEEN’ range is a true reflection of his pursuit and a great tribute to Deen himself.

DEEN VAT 1 DURIF 2017

Variety

Durif with a splash of Viognier

Region

Riverina

Vineyard

A large portion of fruit sourced from DeBortoli own Nericon and Home block vineyards. Some small parcels of fruit was also selected from local growers Foggiato and Sotgia.

Season

A record wet start to winter and spring gave soil moisture a good head start to the warming season. The increased cloud cover kept us below average in the solar radiation stakes, which made for a long ripening period, perfect for retaining natural acidity. The summer was dry and warm to keep the fruit fruity and the diseases at bay.

Tasting Note

Deep purple with vibrant red hues. Fragrant black plum,hints of fruitcake and dark chocolate notes. The rich palate has dark fruits, dark chocolate with hints of Liquorice. Subtle oak and defining tannins.

Wine Style

Full bodied dry red.

General Characteristics

Dry / Full bodied

Winemaking

With regular vineyard visits, the fruit was picked once rich flavours and ripe tannins reached. The fruit was Cold soaked and Co-fermented with a small amount of Viognier. The wine is then pressed and settled. A portion is stored in stainless tank to retain lively fruit freshness and the remainder is matured in a combination of New and older American oak barrels for 12 months before blending and bottling.

Winery Profile

De Bortoli Wines is a third generation family wine company established by Vittorio and Giuseppina De Bortoli in 1928. The couple emigrated to Australia from Northern Italy, from mountain villages at the foothills of the Italian Alps, near the historic town of Asolo.

Their son, the energetic and dynamic Deen De Bortoli, (b 1936 – d 2003) expanded and consolidated the business created by his parents. Deen's children established De Bortoli's reputation for premium wine including icon dessert wine Noble One and the Yarra Valley wines.

Italian family values passed down from Vittorio remain core values, there is a culture of hard work, generosity of spirit and of sharing good food, good wine and good times with family and friends.
