“As one of the Hunter Valley’s top producers, the De Iuliis family has been creating exceptional wines for over 20 years. Our winemaking tradition spans four generations, dating back to the 1930s in Italy. Winemaker Mike De Iuliis has elevated our wines to the highest standards with his innovative techniques and focus on Hunter Valley regionality.

Our 2017 Aged Release Semillon was named in James Halliday’s Top 100 Wines of 2022, and our 2019 Limited Release Shiraz won Best Red Wine at the Hunter Valley Wine Show in 2021 and 2022. De Iuliis may be one of the hardest names to pronounce in the Australian wine industry, but it is synonymous with quality! Cessnock is more than just our home; it’s an integral part of our identity.

The thriving wine country, perfect climate, supportive community, beautiful surroundings, and strategic location all contribute to the success of De Iuliis Wines. We are deeply invested in this community, using its unique advantages to produce world-class wines.

We are also committed to innovation and sustainability. We’re pursuing Sustainable Winegrowers of Australia certification, and we’re proud of our team’s achievements, with two consecutive Hunter Valley Young Achiever of the Year awards.

At De Iuliis Wines, tradition and innovation go hand in hand, ensuring our place at the forefront of the wine industry.”
