DE BORTOLI

De Bortoli Dbfs Sparkling Nv

Trust your Taste

Fresh citrus and florals meet cream and bread-dough notes in this light-bodied Australian sparkling wine. Fine bubbles give it a creamy texture, with delicate acidity keeping the dry finish balanced. Try it with oysters or canapés for an easy aperitif.

PalateKeySe · Delicate & Sensitive
?

Light body, very little grip and delicate freshness with creamy texture favour Sensitive palates. PalateKey groups wines by how they feel, helping you find styles you enjoy. Your own taste comes first.

This suits you if you enjoy light, dry bubbles with creamy texture and gentle citrus freshness.

It may not suit you if you prefer a powerful, intensely toasty sparkling wine or very racy acidity.

How this wine feels

The body is light, but the bubbles add a soft, creamy feel. Citrus keeps the fruit fresh without a strongly sharp edge, and there is almost no drying grip. A little bread-like flavour adds interest to the finish.

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