De Bortoli Rutherglen Estate Renaissance Viognier Roussanne Marsanne

De Bortoli is one of Australia’s iconic family-owned wineries, celebrated for combining innovation with regional expression. The “Rutherglen Renaissance” range pays tribute to classic European wine styles reinterpreted through the warm Australian landscape, and this Viognier/Roussanne/Marsanne blend is inspired by the great white wines of the Rhône Valley.

Sourced from vineyards in Rutherglen, Victoria, the wine benefits from warm sunny days that encourage richness and aromatic intensity, while cooler evening temperatures help maintain freshness and structure. Each grape variety contributes a different layer to the blend: Viognier brings floral perfume and stone fruit, Roussanne adds texture and spice, while Marsanne provides body and subtle nuttiness.

The winemaking emphasizes texture and complexity without sacrificing drinkability. Careful lees contact and restrained oak influence create a wine that feels generous yet balanced, allowing the natural character of the Rhône varieties to shine.

The result is a sophisticated white wine with layered aromatics, creamy texture, and a savory edge—perfect for food pairing and adventurous wine drinkers looking beyond classic Chardonnay styles.
