De Iuliis Winery: A Legacy in Hunter Valley

De Iuliis Wines is a distinguished winery located in the renowned Hunter Valley, established by the De Iuliis family. Since settling in the region in 1960, the family has embraced their Italian heritage and passion for winemaking. In 1990, they transformed a grazing property on Lovedale Road into a thriving 20-hectare vineyard, planting their first vines.

A Commitment to Quality and Recognition

The winery's evolution took a significant turn when Michael De Iuliis completed his postgraduate studies, shifting the focus from grape growing to wine production. In 2001, a modern winery and cellar door were opened, marking a new era for De Iuliis Wines. The winery has consistently received accolades, including a 5-star rating from the Australian Wine Companion by James Halliday since 2010. Michael's achievements include being a Len Evans Tutorial Scholar in 2004 and a finalist in the Young Winemaker of the Year Awards in 2005.

Low Yields, High Quality

The vineyard initially planted Chardonnay, Semillon, Verdelho, Merlot, and Shiraz, with the first vintage produced in 1992. Currently, the winery crushes about 100 tonnes of grapes annually from 15 hectares. This low yield approach ensures concentrated fruit, resulting in wines with exceptional flavor and character.

De Iuliis Wines is dedicated to producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Hunter Valley, offering a delightful experience for wine enthusiasts and travelers alike.

Fantastic. The wines were all good and could see immediately why the rosé was an award winner. The ambience of the place is very pleasant without being pretentious and the presenter made the wine tasting experience very enjoyable and comfortable. Highly recommend!

One of the best sounding cellar doors I've ever been to. It's obvious that a good chunk of change was spent on acoustic treatment and it shows. It's a nice open space, but you don't need to yell to be heard. Great wines and good service on top of that made the whole experience a positive one. I still tell people about how good it sounds. Great work team!
