"A masterfully-crafted Pinot with engineering that reflects the ever more finely-tuned machine that is De Bortoli. Every element coalesces to crate a seamless line of purity. An ethereal wine with everything that you would expect from the Yarra's finest and a level of silky suppleness again."

Big Red Wine Book 96 Points!"De Bortoli pinot noir has been on a steady rise for a decade, but it's really hit some top notes here. Less showy and exuberant than the estate-grown version (of the same vintage), but longer and keener from the middle of your mouth onward. A ripping wine. This is a dry, serious, ageworthy style with a wealth of chalky tannin. Lots of earthy, undergrowth, twiggy characters too but overall it's beautifully ripe and fine. Quite brilliant."
Campbell Mattinson and Gary Walsh, The Big Red Wine Book 2010/11
"Fruit was hand harvested from our oldest Pinot Noir vineyard (planted in 1971) which is grown without the use of synthetic fungicides, pesticides or herbicides. The grapes were hand sorted at the winery before being destemmed and transferred by gravity to open fermenters. Fermentation proceeded naturally without the addition of yeast or the use of temperature control."
