Yarra Valley - Estate Grown & Reserve Release
Yarra Valley Estate Grown wines are sourced from the De Bortoli family vineyards at Dixon's Creek in the cool-climate Yarra Valley. The mature, low yielding vines deliver exceptional quality fruit to the winery. This is preserved during winemaking with gentle, low intervention techniques to produce wine with varietal detail and purity. Varieties include Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Pinot Noir, Pinot Noir Rose and a Shiraz/Viognier blend. We are also fortunate to have some of the oldest plantings in the Yarra Valley dating back to 1971, with varieties and sites that are genuinely interesting and worthy of release as single vineyard wines entitled 'Reserve Release'. The Chardonnay is minerally and lean, the Pinot Noir reaches new heights in potential for longevity, and some unique characters and tannins have been extracted from the use of whole bunches in Syrah.
