About This Wine
The ‘Peninsula’ label is an expression of a lively, fruit driven regional style. This is a classic cool climate shiraz. We source grapes from three sites around the Peninsula which have the spice and black pepper characters, that are the hallmark of this wine.The wine has around 5% viognier, which was co-fermented with the shiraz. It was then aged for eleven months in seasoned French oak barriques.A highly aromatic nose with black pepper, liquorice, aniseed and dark berries leads onto a fruit driven palate, with fine tannins, silky texture and good length.

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.
