Mike Alyward has made a bit of a habit of crafting one of our most sought after Pinot Gris in recent times and the current vintage rates as one of his finest. It has a delicious mouth-filling texture, courtesy of some lees aging in old barriques and seamlessly combines fresh floral and pear notes with hints of honeyed complexity.

Made using traditional winemaking methods - handpicking, whole bunch fermentation and aged in French oak barrels. Classic Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir - fresh red berry aromas, strawberries and cream flavours and a long, refined finish of depth and complexity.

Barney Flanders’s debut Grenache Blanc is the result of a long-standing admiration for Rhône varietals and a successful collaboration with the Rathjen family in Heathcote. Sourced from southeast-facing vines planted a decade ago in Colbinabbin’s red Cambrian soils over limestone, this small-batch wine highlights the freshness and fine texture Barney is known for. The fruit was hand-picked at optimal ripeness (12-12.5% potential alcohol) and whole-bunch pressed into seasoned 500-litre puncheons. The focus was on preserving the purity and delicate aromatics of the Grenache Blanc, and Barney’s hands-off yet attentive approach has delivered a stunning result. The 2024 Le Stagiaire Grenache Blanc is all about balance. Aromas of white florals and stone fruit lead into a bright, pure palate with hints of peach, citrus, and a subtle saline minerality. The texture is elegant and fine, with a long, refreshing finish that leaves you wanting another sip. An impressive first release that combines freshness, charm, and understated complexity—this is a wine that promises great things to come for Barney’s foray into Grenache Blanc. 93 points"Good perfume, salted pistachio, pear and fresh apricot, and kind of waxy too. It has flesh and plenty of apple and pear flavour, again that saline thing, light dusty texture, some cool mint in with the waxy orchard fruit, hard steeped chamomile tea, preserved lemon, and a finish of good length. Very good wine. Texture and a slippery feel, but still keeps itself fresh."- Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)
