De Bortoli DBFS Chardonnay NV
Trust your Taste
Pear, peach and melon meet a subtle cashew-like oak note in this Chardonnay. There is some weight through the middle, followed by a fresh, crisp finish. Try it if you like Chardonnay with fruit and texture while keeping a lively edge.

How this wine feels
This feels medium in weight, with a little roundness in the middle. Crisp freshness gives the finish definition, and a gentle nutty note adds interest. It is more lifted than a heavily buttery white.
The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
How much presence and firmness the wine has in your mouth.
The drying, gripping feeling on your gums.
The fresh, mouth-watering edge of the wine.
Bitter, herbal or savoury character beyond the fruit.
How smooth and rounded the wine feels.
Ripe fruit character. This is not a sugar-sweetness rating.
Ripe fruit flavours can be present in dry wines. Sweet-Fruit Expression describes fruit character, not residual sugar.
