The building, with its big shuttered windows, sits snug and low on the ground, reminiscent of a French farmhouse. Dominique Portet comes from a long line of winemakers across three continents (his father in Bordeaux and his brother Bernard in California). His sons are the 10th generation to be involved. Most of the wines are made from Yarra Valley fruit, with the exception of the Heathcote shiraz and cabernet sauvignon. The rosé is a benchmark. Tastings and light meals are available. Open daily.
