THE MORNINGTON PENINSULA, SEPARATING THE WATERS OF
WESTERN PORT AND PORT PHILLIP BAY AND THRUSTING ITS HEEL
INTO THE TURBULENCE OF BASS STRAIT, HAS LONG BEEN A
BEAUTIFUL, RESTFUL PLAYGROUND FOR THE PEOPLE OF MELBOURNE.
THE PAST THIRTY YEARS HAVE SEEN THE EMERGENCE OF A
MAGNIFICENT JEWEL IN THE CROWN OF THIS MOST FAVOURED
PLACE. FROM THE GENTLE UNDULATING COUNTRYSIDE OF THE
NORTH, THROUGH THE RICH FERTILE WOODED UPLANDS TUMBLING
DOWN TO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS, AROUND TWO HUNDRED
VINEYARDS NOW PRODUCE SOME OF THE FINEST WINE GRAPES IN
THE COUNTRY. THE HAPPY COINCIDENCE OF LATE RIPENING AND A
PROLONGED, GENTLE AUTUMN, RESULTS IN FULLY RIPE GRAPES WITH
INTENSE FLAVOURS, HIGH NATURAL ACIDITY AND FINE TANNINS.
WE INVITE YOU TO EXPLORE OUR BEAUTIFUL REGION AND TO
DISCOVER THE SENSATIONAL WINES CREATED BY OUR
CONTINUALLY GROWING NUMBER OF TALENTED VIGNERONS.
