While his Defialy wines draw on bought-in fruit from across Victoria, the Domaine wines come solely from the Candlebark Hill vineyard in the Macedon Ranges, which Hewitt took over and converted to organic farming. The name Defialy is an acronym for \"don't ever forget I'll always love you\", a tribute to his parents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a straight Cabernet Sauvignon from the estate, grown in one of Victoria's coolest wine regions. Hewitt's approach for the Domaine range is more traditional than his skin-contact Defialy wines: single varieties, careful farming and picking, and a light hand in the cellar. The fruit is destemmed and given an extended time on skins before a long maturation in a mix of new and older oak, and the wine is wild fermented and bottled unfined and unfiltered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpect a refined, medium-bodied, cool-climate Cabernet with fresh acidity and silky tannins, more in the mould of a classic luncheon claret than a big, ripe red. It is a wine that rewards a little time in the glass and suits roast lamb, mushroom dishes or a simple steak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVintages may vary.

Only a small addition of sulphur is made at bottling, and the wine is left unfined and unfiltered, in keeping with Hewitt's minimal-intervention philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Macedon Ranges is one of Victoria's coolest regions, and this is a Chardonnay built on that cool-climate tension, with citrus and stone fruit, a textural, lees-driven palate and bright, mouthwatering acidity.

The Domaine wines were created to separate fruit from his own vineyard from his bought-in Defialy range, and all come from the Candlebark Hill vineyard in the Macedon Ranges, which Hewitt farms to organic principles.

For the 2025 a large share of the fruit was fermented as whole bunches, and the wine was matured for around a year in French oak, a quarter of it new, followed by a couple of months in stainless steel with only a very small sulphur addition before bottling. As with all of Hewitt's wines, it is wild fermented and left unfined and unfiltered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole-bunch component brings lift, spice and a fine, savoury frame to bright red-fruited Pinot, with the fresh acidity that defines the region.
