About This Wine
The fruit from this wine comes from two Moorooduc vineyards on the Mornington Peninsula – the Garden Vineyard and Osborn Vineyard.
Pale gold in colour, the nose is reminiscent of ripe Bartlett pears and honey. Hints of cinnamon and clove spice add complexity and depth. On the palate, the wine is full bodied and creamy, with lovely baked pear and spice flavours. Firm acid and long flavours linger on the finish. A delicious, textural wine that is a lovely aperitif.

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.
