Every bottle of De Iuliis wine tells a story, and the 2019 Limited Release Shiraz is a particularly captivating chapter. It’s a tale deeply rooted in the passion and grit of the De Iuliis family, a narrative that began with Donato and Joss De Iuliis. They journeyed across the rugged Abruzzi mountains of Italy, eventually planting their dreams and their vineyards in Australia’s iconic Hunter Valley.
Today, Mike De Iuliis, the acclaimed current winemaker, proudly carries this torch. He masterfully blends cutting-edge viticultural and winemaking techniques with a profound respect for the family’s rich traditions. This direct lineage isn’t just history; it imbues every drop of De Iuliis wine with a profound sense of heritage and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
The Limited Release designation itself is a powerful statement. It signifies that only the very best barrels from the most exceptional blocks of their cherished family vineyards are meticulously selected. This isn’t just about exclusivity; it’s a true representation of their “hard yakka” – a testament to the tireless effort and unwavering dedication poured into crafting the finest Hunter Valley Shiraz. When you uncork a bottle of the 2019 Limited Release Shiraz, you’re not just tasting a wine; you’re experiencing generations of dedication and the very soul of the Hunter Valley.
