From De Bortoli in Australia’s Riverina and King Valley, the DB Family Selection Merlot 2024 is a refined 100% Merlot from vineyards on alluvial soils. Fermented in stainless steel with a portion aged in French oak, it is vegan-friendly and certified sustainable by Freshcare, offering a crimson hue with vibrant complexity.
Tasting Notes
A vibrant, generous red with rich fruit and silky tannins, showcasing Australia’s terroir.
The nose reveals blackberry, plum, and vanilla oak, with hints of raspberry and chocolate. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and balanced, with supple tannins, fresh acidity, and flavors of candied cherry, red fruit, and a long, smooth finish.
Food Pairings
Pair this red with Western dishes like roasted duck or mushroom risotto to highlight its vibrant fruit and minerality. For Chinese cuisine, try 豉汁蒸排骨, 燒鴨, 香菇燉雞, 紅燒肉, 醬爆牛柳, or 椒鹽雞翼 to complement its silky texture and savory notes. Ideal for refined dinners or casual gatherings.
Serving and Cellaring
Serve at 16°C with one hour of decanting to enhance aromas. Enjoy now or cellar until 2029 for added complexity, developing deeper earthy and spice notes. Explore our Riverina collection for more Merlot classics.
