D’Anna Middleton Lewis (DML VIN) is a collaboration between the D’Anna family of Hoddles Creek, Sam Middleton of Mount Mary, and Jordan Lewis. The trio share a passion for crafting expressive, single-site regional Pinot Noir. Their first release came in 2019, born from a friendship built around a shared love of great bottles, thoughtful winemaking, and a desire to highlight the subtle differences between regions and vineyards.
What started as an idea between the D’Anna brothers and Jordan Lewis soon expanded to include Sam Middleton, whose winemaking philosophy aligned perfectly with the project’s vision Pinot Noir that speaks clearly of place, purity, and balance.
For the 2023 vintage, DML has again released two wines: one from the Mornington Peninsula and another from the Upper Yarra Valley. Each captures its origin with precision and personality. The Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir is the darker, moodier sibling—dense and brooding, with layers of plum, sour cherry, and gentle oak spice. A touch of reduction adds meaty, earthy complexity that enhances its depth and savouriness.
The palate is tight and focused right now, showing serious intensity and impressive length that promises to unfurl beautifully with time. While delicious young, it will truly reward patience—expect it to evolve gracefully over the next five to ten years.

Unfortunately, due to the ever increasing costs of postage we are unable to offer free shipping any longer. Postal increases have seen the average box of wine range from $30-$60, which can represent up to 500% of the cost of the average bottle of wine.
Your postal costs are calculated on the following factors:
- Where in Australia you are shipping to (Where rural postcodes obviously attract a higher charge)
- What in Australia you are shipping (Beer and water for example, are calculated in real time without any additional subsidy. This is because the margins for these products are minimal). Dry goods attract a discounted flat fee of $12 per carton (Calculated by gross weight).
