De Bortoli DEEN Vat 5 Botrytis Semillon 2021 375mL
Trophy & 96 points at the IWC 2025.
96pts... Judges’ comment: “Bright lemon rind, honeysuckle, ginger, almond, and walnut skin, with baked pear. Well-balanced, long, and refreshing, this classic, unoaked Semillon offers appealing colour and subtle caramel flavours.” IWC 2025
This is ridiculous quality for the money!!! How many sweet spots do you need before you buy 6.
"Enticing aromas of candied citrus peel and honey tropical fruit give a great deal of personality to this wine. With its subtle oak interplay and excellent balance between the acidity and sweetness ensuing a harmonious finale to this captivating wine.
The 2021 vintage is all about the fruit with only 22% of the blend matured in older French Oak barriques to impart nuances of vanillin oak, leaving the fruit to shine bright in your glass." Winery
"Rich straw gold colour. Candied citrus, dried mango and wood polish aromas. Sweet and rich on the palate, toffee and butterscotch with mango and dried fig notes. Good length and detail into the sweet but balanced finish. Fantastic value here." 92 points. The Real Review, The Real Review, Mar 2025
