Deen Shiraz Vat 8 2018 (12 Bottles)
93 Points & Best Value 2023 - Ray Jordan
De Bortoli Deen Vat 8 Shiraz 2018 showcases complexity beyond its price point and is a drop that defies expectations.
Drawing its fruit from the Heathcote and Hilltops regions, it packs a generous middle palate of sweet fruit and oak.
At a score of 93/100, it stands tall among its peers, defying conventions of affordable wines.
“This is a wine that defies the normal thinking for these value for money wines in that even after five years it is still holding onto its youth. In fact, it is starting to develop a level of complexity you don’t normally expect at this price point. The fruit for this excellent shiraz comes from the Heathcote and Hilltops regions. Has a distinctive ironstone thread with a soft and generous palate. Delicious, sweet fruit supported by a little oak. This has some extra time, and it is absolutely on song for this style of ready to drink wine.”
Score: 93/100 | Cellar: 3 years.
Deep maroon with bright red hues. Aromas of ripe blue fruits and dark chocolate. The concentrated yet supple palate shows more blue fruits, rich chocolate, hints of salt bush and elegantly structured tannin's to finish.
