Just north of Yarra Glen is Dixon's Creek where the de Bortoli winery can be found. Previous to my current mission I was more familiar with de Bortoli's belting still and fortified wines. Having sold some of them at Majestic Wine in the UK it was always a staff favourite to put on the tasting counter as we could pretty much guarantee that the wine would sell out before the bottle was empty leaving just enough for a wee sample at the end of the day for the team.
The DB Sparkling Family Selection is pretty much in the same vein as it is an instant treat. Fresh ripe lemons, apples and a hint of pineapple on the nose followed through on the palate with fresh bread, touch of yoghurt and white blossoms make this a very enjoyable sparkler. I nearly forgot to write a tasting note for this wine as the combination of a sleeping child, Glee and a great glass of fizz of a Friday evening was one of those pleasures you can't measure.
