The Wine Front – This is a very good release and a very pleasing bottle of Pinot Noir. Strawberry, red cherry, spice, a gentle sappiness. It’s medium-bodied, bright and juicy, but has good concentration of flavour, a little blood orange tang, with a finish of good length and fine-grained tannin grip. Very nice. It’s 92 or 93 points. Either way, it’s a charming wine.

James Halliday – How lovely to taste this knowing Stonier is back on track with new owners who love the place and a winemaker, as in Justin Purser, keen to ensure a tradition of making distinctive, high-quality wines can now continue unabated. No better way than to start with a lovely pinot sourced from grower vineyards. Upfront cherries and pips, lightly spiced with blood orange and zest with wafts of forest floor and savoury oak. Sweet fruit, supple tannins and uplifting acidity glide across the palate. It tastes so good.

James Suckling – Sappy, mid-weighted pinot noir. Lipstick-smudge, sticky tannins compress a densely packed mid-palate, medium of body and far from heavy. Yet the aromatic spectrum is largely of a medicinal red-fruited spectrum, singed with orange-zest sourness, conferring length and verve. This is a very good proprietary expression, brimming with flavor and a modicum of class.
About This Wine
Stonier Pinot Noir is sourced from a select group of hand tended vineyards located amongst the rolling hills of the Mornington Peninsula. The Peninsula's unique geography and cool maritime conditions contribute to a highly distinctive expression of Pinot Noir, typically showing flavours of vibrant cherry to savoury plum within a fine tannin structure.

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.
