Those with a weak spot for good dry rose should make a beeline for the latest pink instalment from La Boheme. Restrained, savoury and dry; smells of red currant, quince paste, dried apple and spice set the pace for subdued fruit, nice acid, and a tidy drying finish.
'Leanne and Steve Webber of De Bortoli Wines in the Yarra Valley are champions of rosé. So much so, they started a revolution - the Rosé Revolution – to encourage the relishing, making and consumption of pale. dry and textural rosé. This all started, as it often does. with the inspiration derived from a bottle of French rosé while holidaying in Provence. This wine, the De Bortoli La Bohème Act Two, keeps their dream alive. Made from 90 percent Pinot Noir with a splash of a few other varieties, it offers a gentle puff of strawberry, rosehip and a red summer berry aromas. True to their maxim the palate is savoury, dry and lovely and well worth starting a revolution for.' - Adelaide Review by Andrea Frost.
