Pristine aromas of citrus and stone fruit mingle with more complex flinty notes from the wild yeast component. The palate really packs a punch with vibrant fruit flavours, some solids complexity, and taut acidity which pushes out the length.

The fruit was handpicked, whole bunch pressed, and the unclarified juice was barrel fermented, and stirred regularly over its 9 months maturation in oak, to build palate weight and complexity.

Those early years of winemaking on the Peninsula were a time of trial and effort. Back in the 1980s no one really knew which grape varieties would succeed. Whilst not the first to plant a vineyard in the region, Lindsay McCall is counted as one of the brave pioneers, which include other such notables as Nat White, Brian Stonier and “Bailes” Myer. And it’s thanks to the courage and perseverance of these few, that the Mornington Peninsula is now one of the top wine regions in Australia.
