2012 De Bortoli Yarra Valley Reserve Release EZ

Posted on January 15, 2013 by Jeremy Pringle

A few changes to the De Bortoli EZ (Edelzwicker or Alsatian field blend) this year. It wasn’t released in 2011 as Steve Webber felt that the fruit they would have used had too prominent a ginger character. 2012 sees a more … Continue reading →
