De Bortoli La Boheme Act Two 2012

The weather is about to heat up so it is time to turn for a glass of lightly coloured rose. This little La Boheme is light on its feet and a huge pleasure to drink with the quality of the wine placing it in my top 2 roses in Australia.

The wine is so light but that shouldn't be too much of a surprise as it is made from 100% Pinot Noir from the Yarra Valley. The aromas start to waft out of the glass the moment the fluid hits the side with the main component being cherries and Turkish delight mixed with a little stalk action. These notes transfer over to the palate and they are joined by sour under growth and a vibrant texture. The wine is beautifully savoury which means I didn't get sick of it after one glass. What I did do was kept on going back time and time again until it was all gone.
