De Bortoli Gulf Station Yarra Valley Pinot Noir
My wine pick today hails from the Yarra Valley, Australia, the company founded in 1928 is one of “Australia’s First Family of Wines”, a group of 12 family owned Australian wineries that represent 16 Australian regions across 4 states and have collectively more than 1200 years of wine making experience.
Georgia’s Wine Pick
I discovered this wine while attending an outstanding tasting featuring 11 of the 12 Australian First Families of Wines. I decided then that it was to be a wine pick for me.
The wine is De Bortoli Gulf Station Yarra Valley 2013 Pinot Noir. I bought it for $19.95 and immediately was struck by the silkiness, the complexity and rich texture, it was medium bodied with bright ripe fruit… but not over ripe and with a vibrant acidity, intense in flavor and refreshing at the same time.I really liked this Pinot Noir, a bargain to me for $19.95.
