Dominique Portet Reserve de Famille 2021

The 2021 Réserve de Famille marks a confident step forward, capturing the maturity and balance of Bordeaux varieties grown on the Warramate Hills in the Yarra Valley. With the vines now fully settled into site, the wine shows depth, cohesion and a clear sense of place.

A long, cool growing season with well-timed rainfall delivered fruit of natural freshness and generosity. Fermented parcel by parcel and aged for two years, including extended time in French oak, the wine is layered and composed, offering dark berries, subtle cedar and savoury spice, framed by supple tannins and bright acidity.

Elegant and assured, this is a quietly powerful Yarra Valley red built on balance rather than excess.
