Product Description

Winery Background

Founded in 1928, De Bortoli is a renowned, family-owned winery rooted in the Riverina region of New South Wales. Known for its dedication to approachable, fruit-forward wines, the Sacred Hill range reflects the winery’s commitment to quality and value, showcasing the character of Riverina’s fertile vineyards.

Vineyards and Vintage Conditions

This Traminer Riesling is sourced from Riverina’s warm, sun-drenched vineyards, where fertile soils and reliable irrigation promote healthy, flavour-packed fruit. The 2023 vintage experienced warm days and cool nights, ideal for building ripe aromatics while maintaining crisp natural acidity. The Gewürztraminer brings floral and spicy notes, while Riesling contributes freshness and balance.

Winemaking Process

Fruit is picked at optimal ripeness for vibrant aromatics. Gentle pressing and cool fermentation preserve floral perfume and delicate sweetness. The wine is matured briefly in stainless steel to retain its youthful freshness and bottled under screwcap to lock in its lively, fragrant style.

Tasting Notes

Pale straw in colour. Intense aromas of rose petals, musk, lychee and citrus zest. The palate is soft and silky, bursting with sweet tropical fruit, Turkish delight and spice, balanced by zesty acidity for a bright, refreshing finish.

Food Pairing

Ideal with spicy Asian dishes like Thai curries or Chinese pork buns, herb-infused vegetarian meals, or creamy soft cheeses. Also pairs well with fruit tarts and light desserts.

Story Behind the Wine

The Sacred Hill Traminer Riesling is a hallmark of De Bortoli’s Riverina expertise. It blends the exotic spice of Traminer with Riesling’s citrusy drive, creating a delightfully aromatic wine that’s perfect for casual occasions yet elegant enough to impress.
