De Bortoli The Estate Vineyard Yarra Valley Pinot Gris 2024 - 6 Bottles

Product Description

Winery Overview

Founded in 1928, De Bortoli remains a family-run winery committed to crafting wines that reflect both their estate vineyards and the regions they’re grown in. Their Yarra Valley holdings at Dixons Creek form part of this vision, where cool-climate fruit is managed with care to deliver wines of clarity and finesse.

Vineyards & Vintage Conditions

The fruit for this wine comes from their Estate Vineyard in the Yarra Valley, an area celebrated for its elevation, cool nights and clean, steady soils. The 2024 vintage benefitted from mild spring conditions and a careful growing season fostering bright varietal character and freshness.

Winemaking

Minimal handling and respect for the fruit are at the core of this wine’s style. Gentle pressing, stainless steel fermentation (and possibly some lees-contact for texture) preserve the delicate aromatics of Pinot Gris. The result is a wine that lets the pear and blossom fruit shine.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Pale straw with subtle green highlights.
  
• Aroma: Notes of white flowers, pear and orange blossom with gentle hints of stone fruit.
  
• Palate: Flavours of ripe pear, apple and soft stone fruit glide across the palate, cushioned by fresh acidity and a refined texture.

Food Pairing

This Pinot Gris pairs beautifully with dishes such as grilled seafood, creamy pasta, roasted vegetables, or soft-rind cheeses. Its balance of fruit and acidity makes it a versatile companion at the table.
