A Good Year for De Bortoli Wines

We recently had a member's tasting for De Bortoli Wines because it's been nabbing accolades left and right - most impressively the QUAFF 2010 recognition of WINERY OF THE YEAR!

The brand carries the Windy Peak Variety which we showcased in all 3 stores, as well as the notoriously famous Noble One!

The Prime Minister of Australia actually gave 6 of these little bottles to the Pope last year when he visited. It's amazingly sweet, almost sticky... but definitely something to try. As I write this, I even just received an email saying that the Noble One Semillon 2006 won the Premium Gold Title at The Berlin Wine Trophy - the highest honor. This has been held for the fourth time under the patronage of the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV). A competition that's known to subject competing wines to the highest quality standards.
