DeBortoliRegionalReservePinotNoir

<p>Medium red with bright edge. Alluring Pinot aromas of strawberry and red cherry. Soft, plump, textural, spice, gentle acidity, soft tannins.</p><p>Grapes are both hand and machine harvested with a percentage of the hand harvested used for whole bunch inclusion. A combination of winemaking techniques are used to produce a final blend with complexity and balance. These include cold maceration prior to fermentation, inclusion of whole bunches and warm fermentation at 28 ̊C to 32 ̊C. Minimal handling and filtration is adopted to preserve fruit flavour.</p><p>Mild growing season. Very good quality in all vineyards. Good ripeness, flavour and intensity.</p><p><em>“Very tasty and great value. The colour is quite deep and youthful, the bouquet robust and ripe, with traces of dark chocolate among the plum and dark cherry —much more than simple grapiness. There is good palate weight and length: all of which are reminders of how the excellent 2021 vintage over-delivers for southern Aussie pinot noir”.</em> – The Real Review January 2023</p>
