Bright Beginnings to Golden Legacies - Chardonnay at Dominique Portet

When Dominique established his family-run winery in 2000, he brought over three centuries of French tradition to Australia's premier cool-climate region. Today, the father-son partnership between Dominique and Ben Portet continues this heritage, blending Old World expertise with Australian innovation.

The team believe chardonnay reveals the true voice of the terroir. Their approach honors the varietal's elegance while allowing each vineyard to express its unique personality. Through gentle handling and thoughtful oak integration, they craft chardonnays that balance vibrant fruit with textural complexity and refreshing acidity.
