Winery Overview
The De Bortoli family story is one of determination and triumph that started 90 years ago in war-torn Europe and is now told, generations later, across Australia.
De Bortoli’s heritage encompasses the universal story of immigrants making good in an adopted land, the rise and rise of the Australian wine industry and the tale of a hardworking and innovative family who considers good wine, good food and good friends to be among the true pleasures in life.

Winemaker Bio
Steve Webber is the Winemaker/Manager at De Bortoli Yarra Valley.
He completed his studies in winemaking at Roseworthy in 1982 and gained valuable winemaking experience at Leo Buring and Lindemans over the next 7 years. In 1989 he married Leanne De Bortoli and the family approached them to head up operations at the family’s newly acquired winery in the Yarra Valley.
Since then Steve has continued to produce top tier wines as he has come to understand the seasons of the Yarra Valley, learn about the different aspects, experiment with varieties and clones, all with the goal of making wine with a sense of place.
