del Rios Winery

Our Story

Moorabool valley is close to the del Rios' family home in Geelong where I had grown up. My wife and I used to spend all our time riding out here, the region yearns to be discovered and never ceases to offer more. We felt a deep connection to it and that is what winemaking means to us, connecting into this spectacular region and the land we work on.

The cool climate offers itself to create an elegant and refined wine while having a unique ruggedness reflective of its ancient past.

Winemaking to us is about connecting into the land and treating the vines and wine with the respect it deserves. We adopt only handcrafted processes, wild yeast and the most refined French oak barrels as we see this as the only adequate way to express what we have.

The journey at del Rios' started with Gus and Esther in 1996 with its first commercial vintage in 2000. Every vintage has been rewarding and unique; and we're proud to share that journey through our wines.
