De Bortoli Family Selection Semillon Chardonnay 75cl

Crisp enough to wake up your taste buds, soft enough to keep everyone happy. This Australian Semillon Chardonnay blend is the kind of white wine you crack open when you want something refreshing, but you’re not in the mood for super sharp, mouth-puckering acidity.

The point of this blend is balance. Semillon brings that clean, lemony snap, Chardonnay adds a gentle, ripe-fruit weight, and suddenly you’ve got a white that feels effortless from the first sip to the last glass.

• Appearance: Pale straw with a bright, clean shine.
• Nose: Fresh lemon, green apple, and a hint of peach, with a light touch of florals.
• Palate: Zesty citrus up front, then softer stone fruit and a smooth, easy mid-palate that keeps it super drinkable.
• Body: Light to medium-bodied, refreshing without feeling thin.
• Finish: Clean and bright, with lingering citrus and a gentle fruit sweetness (dry overall).

Food pairing: Pour this with lemony roast chicken, garlic prawns, or a creamy pasta that needs a fresh, citrusy reset.

This is also a sneaky-good “crowd bottle” for dinners, because it hits that middle ground between crisp and creamy. If Sauvignon Blanc has been your go-to, consider this your next step, same freshness vibe, but with a little more roundness and less grassy bite.

Keep it chilled, keep the snacks coming, and don’t overthink it. This is the kind of bottle that makes Tuesday night feel like you planned something.

Fun Fact: De Bortoli is a family wine name that’s been around since the late 1920s, and they’ve built a reputation in Australia for making everyday wines that punch way above their “casual Tuesday” reputation.
