De Bortoli Chill Bill

Trust your Taste

Red berries, cherry and a floral lift make Chill Bill a juicy, lightly fizzy red. Its soft texture and medium-sweet style are especially inviting served chilled. Try it with pizza or a casual barbecue if you enjoy bright fruit and gentle tannins.

How this wine feels

This feels fairly light, soft and sweetly fruity. Ripe tannins give a little shape, while fine bubbles add freshness. It is a relaxed chilled-red style with a clear sweet touch.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
