The fourth from De Bortoli that has changed Pinot opinion, proving that the grape can offer true value for money as well as the ultimate sensory experience." 16.5/20
"It is nothing short of a travesty that you can buy this wine on special for $10. If every wine drinker in Australia were given a taste of this, the ensuing stampede would throw sales of every red wine under $15 in this country into complete mayhem. Windy Pants Pinot is yet another tremendous wine from the epic De Bortoli team. How can entry-level Pinot be this good (nowhere else in the world can do it - comments gratefully received)? Steve and his team work hard, play hard, and yet they have the intrinsic, almost carnal desire to make every wine, even their every day bottles, pass the highest standards possible before it can wear their label - an inspiration to us all." Matthew Jukes & Tyson Stelzer, Taste Food & Wine 2008
The quality arm of the bustling De Bortoli group, run by Leanne De Bortoli and husband Stephen Webber, ex-Lindeman winemaker. The top label (De Bortoli), the second (Gulf Station) and the third label (Windy Peak) offer wines of consistently good quality and excellent value. James Halliday
