Product details
Description
Woodfired by De Bortoli is made from 100% Shiraz grapes in the Heathcote area of southern Australia.
The vineyards are grown on very ancient soils capable of retaining water, in an area once famous for gold mining. The grapes are brought to the winery after harvest and left to ferment without destemming and in contact with the yeasts present on the skins. Tannin extraction is gradual and gentle. Aging takes place in barrels of various sizes for up to 12 months before bottling.
Deep, impenetrable ruby red, it offers aromas of ripe black fruits, notes of anise and licorice, accompanied by fine spice and clove. On the palate it is fleshy and full, with a spicy edge that supports the acid structure and soft tannins. Long finish and great drinkability.
Ideal with sausages and grilled meats, aged cheeses, and pasta dishes with wild boar ragù.
