Premium Reserve Winecasks 2LT Chardonnay

"Toasty, nutty notes lead onto honeyed stonefruit aromas. Full-flavoured palate with slightly dominant oak character. A well-balanced wine."

, Winestate, April 2007

"De Bortoli are one of the big names in the cask business with a whole range of smart wines to choose from. This is the top chardonnay and it gives some of the more expensive bottled chardonnays a run for their money."

Angus Hughson, Courier Mail and Daily Telegraph, March 2007

"In a more restrained style with cooler fruit flavours and a drier finish than most. It is fresh and bright with melon and citrus flavours and crisp, lively acidity to finish."

Peter Forrestalx, Quaff, December 2006

"Apricot and melon aromas with a hint of toasty oak. The palate has a creamy texture showing pretty stone fruit flavours with subtle vanilla and yeasty notes."

"All ripe peaches and cream with a rich texture and mouth feel."

Ray Jordan, West Australian, September 2004

"Yummy nose, reasonable fruit, honeycomb and butterscotch, the stand-out wine with some real character."

Graeme Philips, Hobart Mercury, June 2004

"Advanced forward nose with aromas of figs... A soft palate with good depth of citrus / melon flavours."
