Mornington Peninsula

Mornington Peninsula is Australia's benchmark for cool, maritime Pinot Noir: a finely wrought, pale-ruby red from a windswept spit of land south-east of Melbourne, ringed on three sides by cold seawater. The style trades New-World power for finesse — bright morello cherry and red plum, dried herbs and a delicate, spicy savouriness carried on gossamer, silky tannin and vivid acidity.
