The De Bortoli family story is one of determination and triumph that started nearly 90 years ago in war-torn Europe and is now told, generations later, across Australia. De Bortoli Estate Grown wines are sourced from the De Bortoli ‘Winery vineyard’ at Dixons Creek in the northern section of the Yarra Valley This 200 HA vineyard is nestled into the western slopes facing mainly east. The tapestry of vineyards were carefully laid out to match variety and wine style. Drive block planted in 1975, Melba block planted in 1991, Amphi and Pistol blocks planted in 1994. These 4 vineyards consistentlyproduce the finest, most detailed wines from the 13 different Chardonnay plots on the Estate.
TASTING NOTES:
“Light straw with a green edge. Bright, complex, hints of grapefruit, hazelnut and subtle oak aromas. Fine, textural with drying creamy flavours.” – December 1st, 2014
