The Wine Front – “Cherry, blood orange, green pear and fennel, lovely chalky texture and grip, bright acidity, a bit saline and savoury, kind of earthy, very dry, with a crisp finish offering crunch and length. Complex. Great to drink. Tops.” - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

James Halliday – "Surely the only thing to say is, grab a bottle and head to the beach with friends armed with paper-wrapped fish and chips. OK, a bit more. Its pale bronze hue is alive with red fruits and spice but the palate is the clincher: textural, creamy, zesty with superfine acidity to close and hence, dry. A proper pinot noir rosé, and charming at that." - Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion 2024
About This Wine
Barney Flanders grows and makes a mean Pinot Noir, so it’s no surprise he uses this grape to make his slinky and fleshy Mornington rosé. The fruit hails from a south-facing Pinot Noir block in Merricks. It was hand-picked, sorted and whole-bunch pressed on a slow, gentle cycle and then sent to old puncheons to ferment naturally, with no temperature control on full solids. The blend spent seven months on lees before bottling.
The result is a delicious and immensely drinkable rosé that’s jam-packed with texture and summer-fruit freshness. Expect a wine with a beautiful light colour and a pretty, red-fruited, floral and spicy personality. A touch of grip on the palate and lively acidity adds depth and a serious edge to what is a mouth-watering and invigorating wine. It finishes crunchy and fresh and is destined for sunshine enjoyment.

Mornington Peninsula Wines
South of Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula grape growing region has a cool, maritime climate that is most known for their Pinot Noir and Chardonnay production. Other varieties that have seen some success here include Pinot Gris and Tempranillo.
However, it does seem that Pinot Noir is their focus judging from the fact that The Mornington Peninsula International Pinot Noir Celebration is held once every two years. The event displays the region’s capabilities in making some of Australia’s finest Pinot Noir in front of local and international audiences.
