Using fruit from the Yarra Valley's cooler subregions, this wine bursts with juicy, ripe red fruits, supple mouthfeel, and crunchy acidity. Medium-bodied, it's an easy-drinking, versatile red.
Textbook, classic Yarra Valley Bordeaux blend - bright, fresh, and fruit forward. Plenty of concentrated fresh berry fruits and bramble, refreshing acidity and fine tannins give the wine a silky texture and a long finish.
The 2023 vintage has bright colour and lifted notes of dark plums, spice and liquorice come through strongly. This year the wine is showing more medium bodied character and finesse, announced through silky fine tannin structure and balanced acidity through to the finish.
The pinnacle of the Dominique Portet wines, André is made only in exceptional vintages - 2015 is only the 6th release. It is named after Dominique Portet’s father and Ben’s grandfather, 8th generation winemaker and former Technical Director (vineyard and winery manager) at the esteemed Château Lafite-Rothschild in Pauillac, Bordeaux.
