De Bortoli Deen Vat 5 Botrytis Semillon 2017 – 375ml
- Rich, sweet
- Riverina
Wow! That is an insane amount of gold medals! And this is an insanely good wine, made by our mates and absolute industry leaders (and legends) at De Bortoli. Botrytis semillon is a world renowned style and this local example sets the bar very high. You can expect all the tropical fruit, toasty-nutty oak and creamy, chocolatey flavours the best botrytis dessert wines rock. But there’s supreme balance and freshness, which is the key to truly great sweet wine. Everything in abundance, and nothing out of place.

Region
Riverina
Think before you criticise any wine from NSW. Riverina is the heart of the state's wine production, and the aorta is Griffith. Griffith is a very 'interesting town'. Let's just say that if you want an offer that's 'too good to refuse', this is your town. And there may be an abundance of Lancia Thema's, considering how many made it to Australia.Mafioso aside, the Riverina produces some great value vino, and commands 15% of the country's production. Over half of this is exported, and includes botrytised whites and some excellent heavy reds as the staples. Brands such as Cookoothama, Penfolds and McWilliams hinge off this region as the foundation of their winegrape source.
