'Delatite's high country vineyard has produced benchmark cool climate wines for more than 25 years. Victoria's spectacular alpine scenery around Mount Buller is the backdrop, offering snowy peaks in winter, lovely country in summer. Now the cellar door has relocated conveniently into the main street of the township of Mansfield, makes it a welcoming destination. Outstanding Riesling and Gewurztraminer are highlights, but the entire range is worth exploring.' RALPH KYTE-POWELL
"The stunning views at Delatite are always matched by the stunning wines crafted by the indomitable Andrew Browning. The Dead Man's Hill Gewurztraminer is consistently one of the best examples of the variety made in Australia and the Riesling is always delicious. The Delatite Shiraz can also make your hair stand on end if you like racy, cool climate reds." Ben Canaider.

With its sweeping views across the snow-clad Alps, this is uncompromising cool-climate viticulture, and the wines naturally reflect that. Increasing vine age (many of the plantings are over 25 years old), the adoption of organic (and partial biodynamic) viticulture seems also to have played a role in providing the red wines with more depth and texture; the white wines are as good as ever.
