NOTES
Sero comes from a Latin word meaning to join or blend together. Wines in the Sero family are interesting blends of classic European varieties sourced from the King Valley in north eastern Victoria and other premium wine regions. Made in the Old World tradition, the aim is to produce wines with subtle nuanced flavours, texture, suppleness and balance that are delicious with food. So introduce yourself to the Sero family of wines by De Bortoli and discover for yourself the unique flavours of these classic European style wines.
TASTING NOTES
Deep red in colour with vibrant purple hue, the nose displays rich complex fragrant fruit aroma with savoury black cherry fruit characters. The palate displays a full fruit spectrum of red berries, complex tannins and supple spicy flavours.
OTHER REVIEWS
It offers concentrated cherry and berry fruit, licorice, smoke, a bit of meatiness, potpourri and lots of interest. It’s medium to full bodied with dark cherry, dark chocolate and spice mingling with more meaty savoury flavours. It has delightfully rustic chunky tannins and an abundance of character. It’s entirely vinous, thoroughly enjoyable and (over) delivers the goods at this price point. 90 Points, Gary Walsh, Winorama, May 2008
"While not a traditional blend De Bortoli have certainly done a fine job with this mix of Merlot and Sangiovese. Supple black olive and plum fruit with some juicy acidity make this great for a rabbit stew."
Angus Hughson, Daily Telegraph, 7 May 2008
"This take on two often-blended varieties smells of licorice and some fresh shaved oak, aniseed spice and brambly berry fruits. It packs King Valley acidity and the savoury crunch of Sangiovese gives the palate an enticing edge, whilst Merlot helps keep things polite; the blend works well. Still really young, some Italian-inspired food will do the trick!" 90 Points, Nick Stock, WBM100, April 2008
"A totally different style to the top wine. This one is made for immediate drinking, and is packed with vibrant cherry fruit. A true barbecue stopper. Excellent Value Highly Recommended, Winewise, 25 December 2007
