Mornington Peninsula wines to tryance

Boutique wineries, top dining, and picturesque landscape combining tidy vines and rugged beaches are part of the Mornington Peninsula’s charm. The region's cool climate makes for particularly exceptional pinot noir and chardonnay varietals. Try these.

2015 Ocean Eight Aylward Reserve Pinot Noir

Winemaker says: A beautifully balanced and fragrant pinot noir with amazing red fruit and spices. This wine has been made to age for 10 years plus.

RRP $75 | 2025 | Ocean Eight Vineyard and Winery

2016 Ten Minutes by Tractor Estate Pinot Noir

Winemaker says: This has a surprising energy to it, driven by cherry fruit with a ripple of vanilla and tomato leaf, it's even and spicy with just a hint of jam.

RRP $48 | 2026 | Ten Minutes by Tractor

2017 Main Ridge Estate Half Acre Pinot Noir

Winemaker says: Long slow ripening has taken the 2017 Half Acre Pinot Noir into the realm of dark brooding fruit, joined with earthy truffle and coffee aromas. The structure is telling of a wine that has more to give, and will reward those who cellar.

RRP $90 | 2030 | Main Ridge Estate

2013 Dromana Estate Chardonnay

Winemaker says: Gently whole-bunch pressed, the wine has spent 12 months in French oak. Extended lees contact and a degree of malolactic fermentation means that this wine is more of a traditional-style chardonnay.

RRP $50 | 2025 | Dromana Estate
