2023 De Bortoli The Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir

This expressive Yarra Valley Pinot is sourced from De Bortoli’s younger plantings and sees some whole bunch inclusion with maturation taking place in a mix of new and used 225 and 500 litre French casks for a period of 6 months.

Light and supple, this is a delicious Yarra Valley Pinot that’s brimming with spicy red to dark fruit.

Semi translucent dark red core with black toned edges and a light red hue. Delightfully scented the nose offers up perfumed aromatics of violet, red to dark cherries, strawberries, subtle dried herb, brambly cedar and spice. Light and supple in it’s feel, the palate is decorated with delicious red to dark cherry and strawberry fruits which meld into a brambly back drop of dried herbs, delicate forest floor and spice. Fine polished tannin structure with a long, elegant finish that’s brimming with spicy red to dark fruit. Fantastic everyday drinking value.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 13%

Other Reviews…..
This is a mighty impressive pinot from the Yarra Valley. You’ll be delighted by exotic spices and red berries on the nose, and find a silky smooth palate with real power, stretching to a very long finish.
