Description

Indulge in the exquisite De Bortoli Family Reserve Semillon Edelsüss, a dessert wine that embodies the rich winemaking heritage of the Riverina region in Australia. Crafted by the renowned De Bortoli family, who have been dedicated winemakers since 1928, this wine is a testament to their passion and expertise. The Riverina, a fertile land blessed with warm sunshine and abundant water, provides the perfect environment for the Semillon grapes to thrive, developing their unique character and flavors. The 'Edelsüss' style, meaning 'noble sweet' in German, signifies the wine's luscious sweetness, achieved through careful selection of grapes affected by noble rot, or Botrytis cinerea, a beneficial fungus that concentrates the sugars and flavors within the grapes.

With a radiant golden hue, this Semillon captivates with its enticing aromas of honeyed apricots, marmalade, and candied citrus peel. On the palate, it delivers a symphony of flavors, where the sweetness is perfectly balanced by a refreshing acidity. The notes of ripe apricot, honey, and a hint of orange zest dance on the tongue, leaving a lingering and satisfying finish. The wine's velvety texture and smooth mouthfeel further enhance the overall experience, making it an irresistible treat for the senses. With an alcohol content of 11%, it offers a light and elegant indulgence, ideal for savoring on its own or paired with delectable desserts.

This exceptional dessert wine is best enjoyed slightly chilled, at around 8 degrees Celsius, allowing its aromas and flavors to fully express themselves. No need to wait, this wine is ready to be savored. The wine is bottled with cork.

The De Bortoli Family Reserve Semillon Edelsüss is the perfect companion to a wide range of desserts, from creamy cheesecakes to fruit tarts and crème brûlée. Its sweetness also harmonizes beautifully with strong cheeses, such as Roquefort or Gorgonzola, creating a delightful sweet and savory pairing. If you're looking for a wine to elevate your next special occasion or simply to enjoy a moment of pure indulgence, look no further than the De Bortoli Family Reserve Semillon Edelsüss.
