De Bortoli Hunter Valley

The historic Hunter Valley is Australia's oldest wine growing region and produces wines with character and personality. The region is especially famous for its wonderful Semillon wines that have the ability to age gracefully over many years. The De Bortoli winery is at the gateway to the Hunter on Wine Country Drive directly opposite Broke Road, the first winery you encounter as you begin your journey into Hunter Valley Wine Country.

The 34-hectare property includes an 800 tonne capacity winery where the 100% hand picked fruit is processed. The company also has another vineyard - Murphy's Vineyard - in nearby Rothbury which has plantings of mature Semillon vines planted nearly half a century ago.

As of 2009, as part of the winery's membership to the Biological Farmers of Australia, the vineyard is now in transition to full organic production.

The cellar door is a welcoming place where you can taste superb Hunter Valley vintages including single vineyard wines from Murphy's and Will's Hill vineyards. We also offer a new range DBHV comprising Vermentino, Verdelho, Nouveau Shiraz and the lastest release called 'Field Blend'. All are delicious, food friendly wines. There is also a  selection of award winning wines from our Bilbul and Yarra Valley wineries available including Noble One.

We also offer a Hunter Valley Cellar Door Wine Club. Please contact the Cellar Door Manager for more details either by email or phone - 02 4993 8800

There are plans for further improvements and a new larger Cellar Door which will house tasting areas for both small and large groups. Landscaping and beautification will also be part of an ongoing process.

Just a couple of hours from Sydney, the burgeoning Hunter Valley with its numerous attractions including galleries, restaurants, golf courses, health spas, wineries and major concerts and events is well worth a visit. Our Cellar Door staff will be happy to show you our award winning Hunter wines.
