The Bortoli wines from Australia

Picking up a bottle of De Bortoli, you wouldn't immediately think you're dealing with an Australian wine. This starts with the name. When we think of De Bortoli, we don't immediately think of Australia, but rather of Italy. This isn't surprising, as De Bortoli was founded by the Italian couple De Bortoli in 1928, a time when many immigrants found their way to Australia, specifically Melbourne. From Melbourne, they conquered not only the entire country with their Australian wines, but also the rest of the world. Deen, the De Bortoli's son, ensured that De Bortoli became one of the largest family wineries in Australia.

The vineyards of De Bortoli

De Bortoli originated in Melbourne. The climate in Victoria, the state where Melbourne is located, is ideal for wine growing. It's warm, but thanks in part to the ocean's influence, a balmy sea breeze blows at night. This is ideal for grape varieties like Semillon and Chardonnay. De Bortoli boasts sparkling vineyards, particularly in the aforementioned King Valley and Yarra Valley regions.
But the Bortoli family's drive for expansion is relentless. The family also found perfect locations in other parts of Australia to establish their vineyards. Think of the exclusive Hunter Valley in New South Wales. This wine region, just north of Sydney, boasts an impressive track record. Furthermore, 3,500 kilometers to the west, De Bortoli also has unparalleled vineyards in the Riverina, near Perth. With this, we can say that De Bortoli has literally conquered all of Australia.

The wines of Bortoli

Anyone looking for typical Australian wines can hardly choose anything other than De Bortoli. Varieties that thrive in Australian soil have all found a place in De Bortoli's wines. They primarily create classic blends. Nothing too fancy. No experimentation, just a good glass of wine. For example, the Bortoli Family Selection Semillon Chardonnay is a highly popular wine, but the De Bortoli Family Selection Rosé also impresses. However, it's the Shiraz grape that wins the awards. Its heat tolerance allows it to create gems, including the De Bortoli Woodfired Heathcote Shiraz.
