About the region

With red volcanic soils and hills rising 300m above sea level, the region’s climate is dominated by the strong winds that constantly sweep across the land from both Port Phillip Bay and the Bass Strait. While rainfall is usually reliable, supplementary irrigation is often required during the growing seasons. A prolonged and gentle autumn usually results in fully ripe grapes with outstanding fruit flavours, high natural acidity and fine tannins. The Mornington Peninsula district has a reputation built around excellent vintages of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir; you will also find Shiraz, the greatest concentration of Pinot Gris in Australia, and even some Tempranillo.

The region has a history of agricultural production, supplying the Melbourne markets with fruit, berries, vegetables and herbs. The region is also an important recreation and tourist destination mainly servicing the Melbourne population who flock to the area on weekends and holidays. This is a modern wine region that has only recently been developed for viticulture. Commercial wine production dates back to the early 1970s. Today, there are more than 200 vineyards, of which over half are less than 5 acres and two thirds less than 10 acres in size. Commercial growth, however, is driving by the bigger players, with vineyards of more than 20 acres currently accounting for well over 40% of the total grape growing area planted.
