She cruises the Victorian coastline; a rolling mass of salty cobalt curls and a powerful force that through the green fuse drives vines to flower, grapes to ripen and fruit to harvest.

Bass Strait is a glorious wonder- an unpredictable crucible to the winemaker’s creativity. Her DNA flows deep throughout the land where her mark is grapevines sheathed in briny. Her tempest is a roller-coaster as fruit slowly ripens while winter’s cloak descends.

The cool maritime climate moderates the growing season and is the architect of nervy Chardonnay and perfumed Pinot Noir. Along the coast, a patchwork of unique slopes are watered by coastal showers that give soils the energy to produce great wines.

Bass Strait laps around the Mornington Peninsula. This crab-claw land of rich volcanic soils produces vigorous growth and fragrant, lightly-structured wines. There are plenty of good wines here; plenty of spice and perfume but only a few wines have the density and line and length of flavour to be called great.

Great wines dance to their own beat whether it’s voguing in a restaurant or raving in the great outdoors. When people pass an evening together under the stars, they commune with nature, sharing wine where the spirit of place is amplified. Great wine is a response to all the elements of nature’s majesty. The rolling power of Bass Strait produces Mornington Peninsula wines of perfumed grace, delicate wines to be enjoyed anywhere you like. Seek out wines of individuality that engage the brain, wines released from ancient volcanic soil fed by Bass Strait.
