The next destination is the Dominique Portet Winery.
The winemaker in the ninth generation Dominique chose the cool climate of the Yarra Valley as the most suitable place for the winery which he called by his own name. The choice of this location was the result of many years of searching for suitable land enabling him to compete with his countryman Bordeaux and became the beginning of a new chapter in the history of French winemaking originating in the 17th century. We recommend trying 6 different wines: Sparkling Brut Rose Sauvignon Blanc Fontaine Cabernet Sauvignon Fontaine Rose Yarra Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and Heathcote Shiraz.
