Dominique Portet was established following 10 consecutive generations of winemaking in the Portet family, stretching back to the 18th century. Dominique went to start his own dream and established Taltarni in 1976 then later Clover Hill In north-east Tasmania. Dominique Portet is now one of the Yarra Valley's leading wineries, with their 'Fontaine' range of wines consistently delivering high quality at very reasonable prices.
The 2023 Dominique Portet Fontaine Cabernets is another soft and medium-bodied Yarra Valley red made up of 39% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Malbec and 2% Cabernet Franc. This offers plenty of plum and berry fruit flavours supported by lively fresh acidity and restrained oak. A lovely drinking red ideal for enjoying in the short to medium term, this is a relative bargain at this price.
