PENINSULA PERFECTION

“PENINSULA PERFECTION!”

Surrounded by ocean the Mornington Peninsula is a maritime region about 50km south-east of Melbourne. The Peninsula is renowned for its “four seasons in one day”. Spring is notoriously capricious, summers are dry and mild, and autumn is typically a steady season of calm, warm and dry days.

Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay, a blend of clones Mendoza and P58 from Capella Vineyard. The fruit was pressed in whole bunches, the juice was fermented in French oak barrels. There was partial wild ferment and partial malolactic fermentation with regular stirring. Matured in the same barrels, a mix of seasoned and new, for 11 months.

"Acidity is in the driver’s seat, racy and fresh, but also keeping the palate very tight and lean..." Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion

Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir, hand-harvested fruit, carefully selected and chilled overnight at the winery, sets the stage for this wine. Destemmed and fermented in open vessels, the must undergoes daily hand plunging, ensuring a delicate extraction of colour and tannin, while imbuing the wine with remarkable complexity. Following this meticulous process, the wine is gently pressed off and aged for 11 months in a blend of new and seasoned oak barriques. The result is a wine of unparalleled depth, revealing layers of nuanced flavours and a velvety texture that beckons the palate to explore further.
