The Deen de Bortoli label is targeted towards the entry level market and is produced from fruit from both warmer and cooler climates. This combination of warm and cool climate fruit is supposed to result in a wine that has richness yet still retains vibrancy. Unfortunately 2011 was so cool that warm climate fruit was a scarce resource.
Deen de Bortoli Vat 7 Chardonnay 2011
Vintage condition in 2011 produced some very lighter style wines with plenty of acid structure. This wine, once it comes into contact with my tongue is a test amount to that but the flavours don’t really get past my front palate. There is a little lemon twist and salty nuts to begin with before a drop of peach juice makes an appearance but then that is it. For the money this wine still offers some value and could work well at a BBQ.
