Long regarded as Australia's first true Provence style - and arguably most successful - dry Rosé. Red berries are joined with bright citrus on the palate from the Merlot and Shiraz, with Cabernet delivering the intensity and drive on the finish.
Long regarded as Australia’s first true Provence style - and arguably most successful - dry Rosé. This has been a mainstay of Dominque Portet since the beginnning, and is now stronger than ever thanks to Rosé’s global success. Pale pink with ripe fruit, creamy mouthfeel and crunchy acidity - it’s everything you’d want from a Rosé.
One of two Chardonnays we produce, it has a hint of oak, good acidity and poise. This modern style of Chardonnay balances freshness and crispness with fruit weight and texture for immense drinkability.
The fruit from our mature estate vineyard is accentuated by wild ferments, large French oak barrels, and a good proportion of Malolactic fermentation - giving our premium Chardonnay intensity, poise and complexity.
Barrel fermentation and lees stirring add complexity and texture, making this wine look more like a white Bordeaux than your typical new world Sauvignon Blanc. Citrus acidity, stone fruits, gunflint and honeycomb with great texture.
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.
Fruit from the Upper Yarra Valley's cooler subregion of Gladysdale, this wine bursts with juicy, ripe red fruits, supple mouthfeel, and bright acidity. Its medium-bodied, elegant and a refined expression of Pinot Noir.
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.
2022 Cabernet Malbec is a textbook Dominique Portet style of red - bright, fresh and fragrant with elegance and texture that will reward mid-term cellaring.
2019 will go down as one of the great vintages for accessible, bright and fragrant Cabernet. Everything came into balance - The fruit is dark, brooding and mouth coating; the tannins are svelte and long; the acidity is clean and refreshing. It all intertwines seamlessly, to give us a wine we consider to be bright, detailed, elegant and fine.
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.
