About This Wine
The fruit for this wine comes predominantly from the Osborn vineyard, and we use low intervention winemaking, including wild yeast fermentation in old oak barrels, to celebrate the flavours we achieve in the Moorooduc ‘subregion’ of the Mornington Peninsula, unencumbered by new oak. “Bright lemon colour with aromas of lemon pith, beeswax and salted caramel. On the palate the wine is fresh and bright, with citrus fruit and nutty honey nougat flavours. Full-bodied yet elegant, with lovely length and crunchy natural acidity, that leaves your palate begging for more.”

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.
