De Lisio Wines is a family-owned boutique winery located in McLaren Vale, South Australia, established in 2002 by winemaker Tony De Lisio and his wife Krystina.Drawing from Tony’s deep-rooted Italian heritage and early viticultural experiences in Clarendon, the winery focuses on crafting premium wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region.Their portfolio showcases a range of varietals, with standout reds like the 'Krystina' Shiraz and 'The Covert' Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as the multi-varietal 'Quarterback' red blend, which combines Shiraz, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
De Lisio Wines also produces whites such as the 'Argento' Fiano and Pinot Grigio, and the sparkling Moscato 'Honeypot'.The winery sources fruit from three distinct vineyards on Seaview Road, an area so prized that there are efforts to have it officially recognised as a sub-region.Visitors can experience De Lisio Wines at their cellar door, where they can enjoy tastings and learn more about the winery's commitment to quality and tradition.
