Wheeler

We are a small family owned wine company - producing small batch, unique wines from Yarra Valley vineyards. High quality grapes allow for winemaking with minimal additions. All wines are naturally fermented with indigenous yeasts, MLF where appropriate is spontaneous and usage of sulphur dioxide is careful and considered. All wines are bottled without fining (vegan) and rarely filtered.Winemaker Dale Wheeler has been deeply immersed in the Victorian wine industry since 2012, relocating to Melbourne from Brisbane to study Viticulture and Winemaking. For a number of years he worked growing fruit and making wine within the Yarra Valley for Strenua, while also completing a number of vintages for other producers within the region. Wheeler Wines continues to further explore the diverse sub-regions within the Yarra Valley bringing you delicious wines along the way.

Dominique Portet

Ninth-generation winemaker Dominique Portet chose the cool climate of aptly named Coldstream in the Yarra Valley as home to the eponymous winery he founded in 2000.It was the culmination of a tenacious search for grapegrowing terroir to rival that of his native Bordeaux – but also the start of a new chapter in a winemaking story that has its roots in France in the early 1700s.Now son Ben – generation 10 – heads the winemaking team, firmly observing the central tenets of this young yet historic estate: respect for tradition, understanding of site and an open mind towards contemporary practices that shape wines that are ever more refined and delicious.
