What sets De Bortoli wines apart

Established in 1928, De Bortoli Wines has grown to become one of Australia’s most esteemed family wine companies. It is renowned equally for its classic icon wines as for its new wine innovations.

Managing Director and third-generation family member Darren De Bortoli reflects on De Bortoli Wines’ current sustainability practices “At De Bortoli Wines, our journey has always been about a commitment to quality, community, and sustainability. We believe that great wine begins in the vineyard and should reflect the character of the region where its grapes are grown. This philosophy shapes our identity, where every bottle embodies the integrity and richness of Australia’s unique terroir.

Sustainability is not a trend for us; it’s the core principle that guides all our efforts. This year, we proudly celebrated the certification of our Rutherglen site by Sustainable Winegrowing Australia – a significant milestone that reflects years of commitment. Our goal remains to become a ‘Zero Waste Wine Company,’ as we continually work to reduce our environmental impact in every part of our production process, from the vineyard to your table.

In addition, our CSR initiative, the 17 TREES range has become a purposeful brand dedicated to a sustainable future, with about 80,000 trees planted worldwide with export expanding from North America and Asia to, most recently, China. De Bortoli’s journey in sustainability also continues to evolve with the Wine By The Glass System, a convenient, compact, and portable way to serve wines on tap that saves time, energy, and resources.”
