Yesteryear Collection

The De Bortoli wine company was founded in 1928 by Vittorio De Bortoli who emigrated to Australia from Northern Italy.
Today the company has a storage capacity of over 35 million litres to cater for an average intake of 35,000 tonnes of grapes, which equates to well over 3 million cases of wine. Almost every popular variety and wine style is produced. Throughout its history, De Bortoli has been a progressive company, which is exemplified by the company motto:
"Always striving for better".

This model was released with the full permission of Matchbox Collectibles, Tyco, and is an official Code 2 release.
