Wine, food and love - do we need anything more in life?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I visited De Bortoli’s Yarra Valley cellar door some years ago, so whenever I drink some of their wine it always brings back memories. This De Bortoli Villages 2017 Pinot Noir is from the @wine selectors ‘Family Favourites’ case. The case is made up of 12 bottles from Australia’s First Families of wines and includes a lovely magazine with more about the families and their favourites meals.

I do like the sound of matching risotto with Pinot!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My thoughts 💭 In the glass this Pinot is a bright ruby red shade. The nose is rather earthy with hints of mushroom intertwined with juicy plums and a whiff of smoke. While in the mouth it has lovely fresh acidity that would work so well with a creamy dish like risotto or even a bowl full of gnocchi 👌 Lovely satin-like finish too!
