Patritti, a name synonymous with wine for nearly a century, has entered a new chapter in its storied history. The family-owned business, nurtured by three generations of the Patritti family, has announced the sale of its business interests to the Lee Family. This sale includes the Dover Gardens production facility, Cellar Door, and Tatachilla vineyard.
This move comes after a longstanding partnership between the Patritti and Lee families, which spans over 25 years. Throughout this period, the Lee Family has been instrumental in enhancing the Patritti brand’s presence in important international markets. The formal transfer of ownership will take place on November 26th, following a ceremonial event on the previous day.
The Dover Gardens production site, along with the Cellar Door and Tatachilla vineyard, will continue to operate under the Patritti banner. The Lee Family’s ongoing commitment will focus on elevating the brand’s position further in the sectors of wine and juice production and sales. They also plan to maintain the operation of the hospitality venue and to expand the range of contracting services offered.
The decision to divest comes after decades of resilient management and dedication to quality by the Patritti Family. Since its inception by Giovanni Patritti, the business has grown to become a respected name in the South Australian wine industry. Its commitment to excellence has seen the family steer the company through numerous challenges, adapting and thriving in a competitive market.
The Lee Family’s acquisition will respect and build upon the legacy of the Patritti brand. With their deep understanding of the brand ethos and market dynamics, they are well positioned to propel the business into its next era of growth and innovation.
The Patritti Family expressed its gratitude towards all stakeholders, including customers, employees, and the community, for their support and loyalty over the years. They remain confident that under the new ownership, the Patritti name will continue to flourish and the business will strengthen its market position.
