RM96.0
De Bortoli Down The Lane Rose showcase a very pale colour. Buttery brioche aromas with some wild cherry. Textural, creamy and fine with a crystalline structure.
Gris de Gris or Grey from Grey is the term used to make a white/Rose wine from red coloured grapes. Pinot Grigio a ‘grey’ variety as the fruit appears red but the juice is somewhat orange and not red at all was blended with a splash of another red variety Pinot Noir. Pinot Grigio is left on skins for half a day to extract the lovely colour and flavour for this wine. A portion is also naturally fermented in old French oak casks to add some creaminess.

Description
The De Bortoli family story is one of determination and triumph that started 90 years ago in war-torn Europe and is now told, generations later, across Australia. Starting with Vittorio and Giuseppina De Bortoli, their history encompasses the universal story of immigrants making good in an adopted land through hard work, innovation and the support of family and friends. From humble beginnings making small amounts of dry table wine, mostly for fellow European immigrants, De Bortoli Wines expanded and consolidated under the direction of Vittorio and Giuseppina’s energetic son Deen and his wife Emeri.
Their four children – Darren, Leanne, Kevin and Victor – joined the family business and developed De Bortoli’s reputation for premium wine, firstly through iconic dessert wine Noble One and then via the success of the cool climate wines produced at the family’s Yarra Valley Estate.
Today, as a fourth generation contemplates entering the family business, De Bortoli Wine’s official motto, Semper ad Majora (“always striving for better”) and the unofficial one (good food, good wine and good friends) remain as true and central as ever.
