Deen Vat 5 Botrytis Semillon 2018

The Deen Vat range is a tribute to Deen De Bortoli, a true visionary in the Australian wine industry, whose mission was to create quality wine for everyone to enjoy. A glass of sunshine with fabulous concentration and aromas of honeyed apricot, pear and peach fruit, candied citrus peel with wafts of vanilla scents. Tangy citrus acidity balances beautifully with the roundness and sweetness of the wine.

Fruit is harvested from predominately our own vineyards and from selected growers that have produced Botrytis Semillon especially for De Bortoli Wines for many years. Experiencing a warm dry summer the botrytis didn’t appear until after rains in early May. Some foggy mornings and further showers of rain enabled the botrytis to spread throughout the dedicated vineyards and harvest kicked off in late May.

Each vineyard is harvested, fermented and matured separately as they each have their own characteristics. This enables us to capture all the elements we are looking for in this wine. Elegance, fruitfulness and a touch of oak.

20% fermented with French oak with the remainder unoaked.

What better way to enjoy a glass of Deen Botrytis than with a Almond tart, Pavlova with a lemon topping or with a bowl of Fresh Strawberries and Cream. Not forgetting this wine is the perfect accompaniment to a Platter of Cheeses and dried fruit the end of the meal.
