Port Phillip Estate is situated at Red Hill, very near the heart of beautiful Mornington Peninsula. Farrago is a single hectare, gently sloped block planted to mottled clay soils and ironstone pebbles, a highly auspicious terroir for Chardonnay, which invigorates the vines and infuses grapes with luxurious minerality and well defined linearity. Parcels of hand picked fruit are gently whole bunch pressed into French oak barriques for a wild indigenous yeast ferment, followed by a year's maturation, racked for clarity and a minimal filtration to preserve the integrity of a resplendent vineyard.

Straw coloured. Rich flint bouquets and wet rocks, mandarins, tangerine and orange blossom, subtle fennel and bran aromas. Intense ruby grapefruit and lime flavours, penetrating acidity in support, mouth filling underlying fleshiness drives the palate, long and lingering, seamless and powerful, a magnificent new world Chardonnay of great depth and breadth.

Kooyong Estate was established with a view to craft the most articulate wines, minimal harvests from measured blocks which are defined by their eloquence. There's less than a half hectare of vines earmarked for Faultline, a place of propitious deep clay soils which yield Chardonnay of exquisite earthy characters, great depth and fuller, richer palate. Hand picked grapes are gently whole bunch pressed into French oak barriques for a spontaneous ambient yeast ferment, followed by a year's maturation on sedimentery yeast lees, bottled unfined and minimal filtration.

$5499each $659DOZEN EACH DOZEN

Yellow straw hues. Bouquet of maritime Mornington breeze, seaweed and iodine, preserved lemon and a touch of stone fruit, notes of ginger, struck match and lees derived richness. The long, linear palate is tightly focused around pristine citrus and stone fruit characters, hints of oatmeal and cashew, a luxuriously intense saline acidity.

Planted exclusively to Pinot Noir, Kooyong Estate's Ferrous Vineyard lies atop sandstones which are encrusted with iron oxide, giving them a rusty appearance and inspiring the Ferrous moniker. Unique soils impart the intriguing characters of hot wet stone and rusty outback to the exquisitely compex nose. The scant 1.74 hectares of Ferrous Block yield an extremely limited release, single vineyard wine, arguably Mornington's flagship Pinot Noir.

$6299each $755DOZEN EACH DOZEN Ferrous Vineyard is less protected from the northerly winds, and the soil extremely unforgiving, resulting in greater stress being placed upon the vines. The vines here tend to run out of available water much sooner than in most parts of Mornington. The resulting wine is more masculine in nature, the tannins have more presence and the colour is richer. All grapes are picked by hand and destemmed alongside a portion of whole bunches, into large oak foudres for three weeks of ferment without any added yeasts. A course of wild malolactic in barrel is followed by seventeen months maturation in French oak, a third of which are new, to be bottled without any fining or filtration. Alcohol 13.5%

Dark blood maroon colour. Aromas of crushed ironstone, pink grapefruit, fresh beetroot, wild/ sour cherry and a forest floor. Foamy strawberry and strawberry shortcake, tart black cherries, sleek texture, creamy vanillin note and oak seamlessly integrated, a density of fruit flavours, an utterly pure, savoury line, pert acidity and assertive tannin propel the palate to length.

The wines of Kooyong aim to express their terroir, an integration of geology, soils and mesoclimates of the various sites within the vineyard and the weather of the growing season, to articulate the unique characteristics diligently, respectfully and without artifice. The most sheltered block of Pinot Noir is called Haven, its coddled vines yield grapes of enticing purple jube opulence, completely destemmed for wild indigenous yeast vinification and a year's maturation in French oak barriques, its velvet richness and lushness supported by firm underlying tannin structure.

Deep garnet hues. Plethora of black and red fruit bouquets, spicy notes of cardamon, nettle and dried orange. A palate of great depth and boldness, juicy black cherry flavours and fine structural elements supported by tight tannin grip, fleshyness and the complexity of farmyard fruit, Haven lingers long on the finish to lasting impressions of sen-sen licorice, rhubarb and stalk.

The Kooyong Estate wineworks at Tuerong, on Mornington's windswept Peninsula, are fully focused on producing artisanally crafted Pinot Noir, from superior quality fruit grown to closely managed, exceptional vineyard sites.

$3499each $419DOZEN EACH DOZEN Massale is an assemblage of Pinot Noir parcels grown to Tuerong and Balnarring estate vineyards. Destemmed grapes and a component of whole bunches are indigenously vinified in open vats for up to three weeks without the introduction of any yeasts. Batches are treated to natural malolactic followed by a year's maturation in French oak barriques and larger format foudres, achieving a wine that's completely approachable in its youth.

A pretty purplish crimson colour. The nose speaks of bright red fruits, raspberries and cherry, then violet florals, dried meadow herbs and hints of cherry pip, oak and botanical spice. The palate is attractively brambly with a core of red fruits, fresh acidity, fine, graphite tannins and a savoury edge which balances the fruit. Massale is an elegant wine which will continue to evolve beautifully.

Kooyong Estate is located at Tuerong and focuses on growing a small range of Burgundesque varietal clones. There are five distinct vineyards of which three are planted to Pinot Noir, the fastidiously husbanded blocks produce stately wines. Meres is a small, single hectare block planted to a gentle north facing slope, the most exposed parcel of Kooyong's Pinot Noir, a place of low vigor and restricted yields. The frugal loam over clay soils produce highly aromatic, beautifully perfumed grapes of velvet tannins and sound structure.

$6999each $839DOZEN EACH DOZEN The cultural practices of Kooyong respect and nurture the inherent character of each block. All vines are hand cane pruned, if the season is showing higher yields, bunches are thinned to focus the intensity of flavour in remaining clusters. All grapes are hand picked and the vinification is nothing short of meticulous. Parcels of destemmed grapes and whole bunches are vinified through the action of spontaneous, ambient yeasts in a mix of concrete vats and fermenters for eighteen days. Upon completion, batches are pressed and racked into a selection of seasoned and new French oak barriques for malolactic and fourteen months maturation, bottled unfiltered and unfined.

Massoni were at the forefront of establishing Mornington with a definable genre of Chardonnay. With their crisp natural acidity, elegance and restraint, the wines of Mornington are today renowned for elegant and refined new world styles of Chardonnay. Massoni is more robust than most, with ripe fruit forward and solid structure throughout. The perfect accompaniement to the freshest seafood or crisp skin chicken, the middle palate is viscous and deep while the finish shows the minerality and texture of a good Chablis.

$2599each $311DOZEN EACH DOZEN Massoni's vineyards are the pick of Mornington's cool climate sites. This means that grapes mature on the vine for a longer period, enhancing flavour and colour extract. The temperate sea breezes off Port Phillip Bay afford some protection from extreme summer heat, especially in January and February as the grapes achieve ripeness. Crop levels are normally low and fruit is selectively hand picked to ensure only those grapes in the best condition are included. Parcels of Chardonnay are whole bunch pressed into French oak barriques for fermentation. Batches are sulphured as malolactic is discouraged, the wine remains on lees and is treated to monthly stirring until bottling in June.

Light to medium straw hue, youthful green highlights. Aromas of lemon curd, grapefruit and varietal peachy notes. Barrel fermentation characters are also apparent. The palate is complex and long. Mineral, smoky flavours give way to buttery lees contact notes with the powerful primary fruit remaining in the foreground. A long, satisfyingly dry yet fruit and stone filled finish.
