De Bortoli Deen Vat 5 Botrytis Semillon 2018 is a glass of sunshine with fabulous concentration of sweetness, honeyed apricot, pear and peach fruit, candied citrus peel with wafts of vanilla scents. Tangy citrus acidity completes the roundness and sweetness of the wine.
REVIEWS "Very good drinking for the price. Orange blossom, dried mango, pineapple chunks and the usual botrytic revelry from the Riverina. Lightweight and yet as expected, extremely intense and driving long. The caveat, the shrill acidity. 375ml." 91 Points - Halliday Wine Companion 2023 August 2022
"Tropical fruit nose with honeyed aromatics developing. A lovely softness to the rich sweet palate." 94 Points - Winestate Magazine July 2022
Deen De Bortoli was a true visionary in the Australian wine industry, whose mission was to create quality wine for everyone to enjoy. The ‘DEEN’ range is a true reflection of his pursuit and a great tribute to Deen himself. Our Father, everybody's Deen.
Fruit is harvested from predominantly 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.
