De Bortoli

De Bortoli

De Bortoli Wines is a family-owned wine company established in 1928 by Vittorio De Bortoli. The winemaking team is overseen by third generation winemaker Darren De Bortoli and his brother-in-law Steve Webber.

The winemaking philosophy is that great wine begins in the vineyard and that the winemaker should use minimal handling and interference in the winery. Wine should have a sense of regionality and be an expression of the soil in which it is grown. Our winemakers strive to create wines that they find interesting and exciting - wines that may be quirky or unusual but wines that above all have provenance and a sense of place. 

De Bortoli has wineries in diverse wine growing regions, each with its own regional style, as well as vineyards in the King Valley. The Bilbul winery produces the acclaimed Noble One, world class fortified wines and premium varietal and sparkling wines. The relatively cool climate Yarra Valley is known for the classic varieties Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Sauvignon, Riesling and Viognier. The Hunter Valley is famous for its distinctive Semillon and Shiraz styles which have character, personality and the ability to age gracefully. The King Valley is rapidly developing a reputation for its Mediterranean varietal wines including Sangiovese, Tempranillo and Pinot Grigio.
