DE BORTOLI WINES

The estate in the Yarra Valley, with plantings dating back to 1971, is managed by Leanne De Bortoli and her husband, Stephen Webber, who serves as the chief winemaker.

De Bortoli Wines was founded in 1928 by Vittorio and Giuseppino De Bortoli in Bilbul, New South Wales. Since then, the De Bortoli family has acquired vineyards in various wine regions in Australia, including the Yarra Valley in Victoria. Currently in its third generation of ownership, the De Bortoli family is dedicated to producing high-quality wines, following their motto ‘Semper ad Majora’, which means ‘always striving for better’.

Visit the local winery for a wine-tasting experience with scenic views of vineyards and hills, and enjoy a cheese platter paired with the famous Noble One Botrytis Semillon.

The winery restaurant Locale, reflecting the De Bortoli family’s Italian heritage, serves Italian-inspired dishes using local and seasonal produce. Guests can enjoy their meal in the dining room with a view of the vineyards, paired with estate-grown wines from the Yarra Valley.

Different types of wine

The white wines are Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Blanc.
