Specialising in cool climate wine, Delatite’s winery and vineyards are on rolling hills at the base of Mt Buller in north-east Victoria. It was established in 1968 by Robert and Vivienne Ritchie and now run by their son David. Our approach to winemaking has been forged from the family’s history of working with the land in Victoria for over 170 years.

Estate grown using biodynamic principles, wild ferment, no enzymes or finings added. Walks that fine gris line between fruit generosity and acid cut, and it walks it with confidence and style. Quietly goes about delivering ripe pear, peach, spiced apple, a splash of herbs and generous pinch of spice that is at once mouth-filling and finely delineated in clean, brisk acidity. Smart wine and winemaking. Drink to: 2032; Date Tasted: November 2025; Alcohol: 13.5%; Price: $32.00; Rating: 95 Points & Special Value Star; James Halliday Wine Companion
