When you’ve been making wine since 1928 you get very good at it - and De Bortoli are exactly that, with a range that spans the gamut of Australian wines and regionality. Amongst their wines are the Willowglen range - good fruit driven wines that over deliver. This is definitely the case with their 2016 Shiraz Cabernet, made in the typical dry red Australian style - a lovely fruit driven wine full of red fruit, oak and cherry. Medium in body, but not flavour, with fine tannin binding the wine together. The perfect over delivering quaffer.
