Winemaker / Tasting Notes
With over 90 years of winemaking, the De Bortoli heritage encompasses the universal story of immigrants making good in an adopted land coinciding with the rise of the Australian Wine Industry and the tale of a hardworking and innovative family that considers good wine, good food, & good friends to be among the true pleasures of life. Their Willow Glen range was created as everyday occasion, easy drinking, value-priced wines that offer crowd pleasing freshness & bright fruit characters. Two varieties that enhance each of their flavors are the rich berry fruit of the Cabernet Sauvignon intermingled with the smooth plum characters of the Merlot. Each variety is harvested separately where the resulting fruit is imbued with ripe tannins & vibrant flavors as they are fermented on skins for 5 to 6 days with a combination of French & American oak. Displaying a bright marron robe with red edges, this medium-bodied red evokes bright berry & plum fruit aromas. On the palate, flavors of red berries & black currants are displayed along with sweet oak hints on its' smooth, textured palate.
