De Bortoli Sero Chardonnay Pinot Grigio 2008 (King Valley)



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

Bright pale straw colour with a water like hue. A delicate nose of tropical fruits, are followed by a hint of peach and spice. The palate is light and crisp with flavours of lemon and tropical fruits followed by citrus and peach. A clean, crisp wine.

 

OTHER REVIEWS

"Steve Webber (Winemaker at De Bortoli) has outdone himself with this little cracker. An unusual combination that really works; ripe honeydew melon characters from the Chardonnay combine with pear and honey flavours from the Pinot Grigio. It is superbly good with fresh Asian cuisine with just a bit of spice."
David Bone, B Magazine, 24 June 2008

 

"A nice long, textured wine with characters of pears, quinces and some limes and floral notes."

"Steve Webber and his team are more interested in building texture than varietal flavour and that seems to me admirably suited to crafting an interesting wine from a blend of varieties like chardonnay and Pinot Grigio. Don't expect obvious varietal fruit flavours. This is a wine that has weight, power, impressive depth and viscosity with a delightful mouthfeel and a wonderfully dry finish. An excellent food white: say with Vietnamese or Thai chicken stir-fries or grilled fish and chips." Bloody Good, Peter Forrestal, www.quaff.com.au, 20 July 2007

 

"This has plenty of chardonnay and Pinot Grigio character. A delicious dry white with melon and peach from the Chardonnay and pear and nougat from the Pinot Grigio. Awesome drinking." 4 Stars, Fergus McGhie, Canberra Times, 14 November 2007

"A nice long, textured wine with characters of pears, quinces and some limes and floral notes."
