Winery Background
De Bortoli, established in 1928, is a fourth-generation family winery celebrated for producing expressive, regionally focused wines. The Woodfired range highlights bold red styles crafted to pair perfectly with flame-cooked foods, with Heathcote’s climate and soils delivering powerful fruit character.
Vineyards and Vintage Conditions
Sourced from select vineyards in Heathcote, Victoria, known for ancient Cambrian soils and a warm, dry growing season. The 2021 vintage offered ideal ripening conditions, resulting in Cabernet fruit with depth, structure and richness.
Winemaking Process

Food Pairing
Perfect with flame-grilled steak, roast lamb, smoky barbecue ribs or aged cheddar. A bold wine designed for robust, meaty dishes.
Story Behind the Wine
Crafted for lovers of bold reds, the Woodfired Cabernet Sauvignon captures Heathcote’s intensity and power. The 2021 vintage delivers classic varietal character, structure and a smooth, satisfying finish—ideal for food and fire.
