Premium Reserve Winecasks 2LT Pinot Grigio

Bloody Good
The Quaff 2009 'Platinum Pillow'
Cask Wine of the Year
"As it was last year, this is one of the best casks around. It has fresh, clean, lifted aromatics, appealing savoury (rather than fruity) flavours that are quite intense, feels smooth and lively in the mouth, with a  gentle, crisp finish. Quite similar to last years and a style to follow if you are looking for lightness of touch and a dry mouthfeel."

Peter Forrestal, Quaff 2011, October 2010

"... the De Bortoli Premium Reserve Pinot Grigio (2 litre) was the highlight in the aromatic white team, displaying a very smart flavour profile as well as suprisingly elite minerally textures" 

Tony Love, Brisbane Courier - food section, March 2010

"A touch of honey in the aromatic element in the mouth, backed up by a decent minerally presence. Varietally distinctive"

"This is the first time that I’ve seen pinot grigio in a cask, and both examples in this year’s reviews impressed. De Bortoli has been working with the grape for quite some time and has produced an absolute ripper - one that would give plenty of its bottled cousins some cause to tremble. It has bright, savoury fruit, good weight and intensity, wonderful texture and a lingering dry finish."

"There’s a lightness of touch that sets this apart from most cask whites. It’s fresh, clean and bright with a pleasant mouthfeel, silky smooth texture, savoury (non-fruity) flavours and a lingering, dry finish."

Peter Forrestal, Quaff 2010, October 2009

"...This has a touch more richness than its premium equivalent, with pear flavours and good, cleansing acid. It won't last long at a barbecue, that's for sure."

Rick Allen, Manly Daily, June 2009
