The family believes that great wine is not the result of technical winemaking wizardry but rather of understanding the piece of dirt in which it is grown. Nurturing our soil contributes to overall vine health which in turn produce better quality fruit. Taking a "hands-off" approach once the fruit is in the winery and allowing the wine to "make itself" leads to wines with beauty and detail. Steve Webber, De Bortoli's head winemaker says "Riorret is meant to be a boutique on-premise/fine wine brand and there is some expectation in those circles for a cork closure. Diam is the best option available to us. With Cabernet and to a lesser extent Pinot Noir, a little bit of evolution with a more permeable closure can be a good thing."Stockists Flint Wines, Planet of The Grapes, Theatre of Wine, Trinas Wines.
