De Bortoli is an innovative winemaker, having enjoyed spectacular success throughout it's entire range of wines. The team have ventured out from their environs in the Mallee and Riverina to source grapes from the nation's pre-eminent Shiraz growing region of McLaren Vale. De Bortoli know from good Shiraz and believe that great wine begins in the vineyard. The aim at all times is to practice sustainable viticulture with a minimal interference in the vinification. Wine should have a sense of regionality and be an expression of the soil in which it is grown. De Bortoli strive to create wines which are interesting and exciting, wines that are individual and above all, have provenance and a sense of place.
