WINERIES AND CELLAR DOORS De Bortoli Wines owns three wineries in three diverse wine growing regions:
The company has vineyards in the same regions as its wineries, along with the King Valley in Victoria. The Yarra Vally Winery also boasts a very popular and highly awarded restaurant featuring Northern Italian inspired cuisine. There is now also a Cheesemaker & cheese shop onsite at the Yarra Winery. WINEMAKING The winemaking team is overseen by third generation winemaker Darren De Bortoli and his brother-in-law Steve Webber. In the early 1980s Darren De Bortoli created the world acclaimed Noble One Botrytis Semillon. Steve Webber established the company's premium Yarra Valley winery in the early 1990s and is also responsible for overseeing the company's King Valley vineyards and Hunter Valley winery and vineyards. The winemaking philosophy is that good wine begins in the vineyard, that the winemaker should use minimal handling and interference in the winemaking process and that wine should have a sense of regionality and be an expression of the soil in which it is grown. HISTORY De Bortoli Wines was established in 1928 by Vittorio & Giuseppina De Bortoli and rapidly expanded under the direction of their son, the late Deen De Bortoli . Today the company is in the hands of the third generation. The family history is documented in a book called Celebrazione! launched in 2003 to celebrate De Bortoli Wines' 75th Anniversary. ENVIRONMENT AND TECHNOLOGY As a family owned company, De Bortoli Wines has often taken a longer term view of the world than a traditional corporate equivalent. Examples include the consideration of concepts such as "data sovereignty", leading to the organisation standardising on the "Open Document Format" for office productivity files though the use of with SAMBA 3 for authentication & fileserving, and the rollout of Linux clients on the desktop. Examples of De Bortoli Wines' long term view of environmental sustainability include:
