Stonier are the pioneers of the premium region that is the Mornington Peninsula. This outstanding Pinot Noir displays pure elegance and complexity. Dark cherry fruit flavours are balanced by gamey undertones and a savoury finish.

Nectarine and white peach, textured mid palate, acid and oak to close.

Port Phillip Estate Salasso Rosé is another example of it not mattering what what Sandro Mosele turns his hand to, it is always meticulous and carefully made producing a wine of brilliance. Bright and sparkling in the glass, the seriousness of the winemaking is forgotten when the lift berry flavours hit the palate.

This Pinot Noir boasts of a greatly fragrant nose exuding raspberry, red cherry, sage and pine aromas. The silky and elegant palate follows the scented bouquet, showing blood orange and strawberry characters coupled with savoury tannins.

The cool climate and rich loamy soils of the Mornington Peninsula provide the perfect foundation for the cultivation of Pinot Noir grapes. Estate grown and hand picked from a single vineyard, the fruit is transformed through a combination of traditional and modern techniques, delivering a finely textured and delicately balnaced wine. The bouquet is driving by forest fruits and black cherries, with oak provifding tantalizing Christmas spice flavours on the palette. Food match: Roast duck with blackberry sauce, traditional roast chicken with accompaniments.

A sessionable Pale Ale with a crisp and clean palate, underpinned by a subtle satisfying bitterness. Tropical and citrus aromas come through from generous late hop additions of mosaic and simcoe.

Yabby Lake's approach to viticulture and winemaking is peerless; lifted red fruits, silky mid-palate with undergrowthy nuances, and extended finish mean a wine with class written all over it.

Scorpo produces another excellent example of Pinot Gris from the Mornington Peninsula. Lifted aromas of pear apricot and green apple lead into a palate rich and silky in texture, the flavours showing depth and complexity, the acidity in perfect balance.

Colour Pale colour of onion skin and copper. Aroma On the nose there are recognisable SOS characters of cantaloupe skin along with aromas of blueberries, plum, bay leaf and earth. Palate The fruit character brings a cassis juiciness into the mid palate which is soft and textured with hints of blueberry and plum fruit. The wine finishes bone dry with not much acid.
