De Bortoli Deen Masters Blend VAT 184

Deen De Bortoli was a master storyteller and a lover of wine who could often be found lounging over a barrel or makeshift table, eager to share a story and a glass of wine. The Master’s Blend is a reflection of that, bringing together Shiraz, Durif and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Viticulture

Spicy Shiraz from Heathcote, the rich Durif from Riverina along with the cool climate Cabernet Sauvignon from the Yarra valley make for a harmonious blend. Yields are generally low and grapes are picked in cool mornings to help retain freshness. 

Winemaking

Fruit from each variety of each region kept separate and was carefully destemmed into Potter fermenters where the individual parcels underwent a cool ferment for a total period of 6 to 10 days. Pressed off at dryness, the wine was then put into a selection of new and older American and French hogshead barrels for 12 months. A multi-regional wine that captures the essence of each variety from the regions the fruit is sourced.

Taste

Blueberry fruits, chocolate with hints of cedar spice aromas, there’s plenty going on here. The generous palate has an abundance of dark fruits, structured tannins and lingering dark chocolate.

Food Pairing

Pair with you favourite Roast, Lamb Shanks or a delicious Ragu. Also great for BBQ season.
