13Chardonnay

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] I see CM has recently reviewed the 2018, though there must be some of this still about. Funky struck match, chicken stock, citrus and green melon. It’s savoury, with a core of good fruit flavour, but presents as non-fruity and complex, with these characters to the fore. Lime, zesty and ruggedly textured to close. Rated : 93+ Points Tasted : Apr-19 Alcohol : 13.2% Price : $51 Closure : Screwcap Drink : 2019 - 2026 Gary Walsh [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

14Shiraz, Tasting Notes, Wine

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]5% new oak and terrific to drink. As fresh and it is silken, as seamless as it is delicious. If you drink this immediately you’re missing out on nothing, such is its polished drinkability, but it has both complexity and structure on its side too and so should mature well into at least the medium term. Bravo. Price and quality are spot on. Rated : 93 Points Tasted : Mar19 Alcohol : 13.5% Price : $32 Closure : Screwcap Drink : 2019 - 2025Campbell Mattinson[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

20Chardonnay

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="17245" img_size="full" alignment="center"][vc_column_text]'When you combine fruit power with this kind of complexity, and add finesse to the equation, then you go straight into the elite class. This drives home its case with flavours of peach, nougat, flint and a variety of barrel-worked complexities. One sip and you feel caught in its headlights; there's so much going on, its hard not to become fixated.'Campbell Mattinson[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

20Pinot Noir

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="17244" alignment="center"][vc_column_text]'Rich and svelte at once, its cherry-berried flavours, cedar wood and sweet spice notes entirely seductive both in isolation and in team. This is the way to combine the swishness of oak, the sweet-sour tang of varietal fruit, and studs of spice and leaves. The statement it makes on quality is clear.'Campbell Mattinson[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

17Pinot Grigio Tradizionale

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="12582" img_size="full" alignment="center"][vc_column_text]"Not your average Joe. 30% whole bunch, wild ferment, pressed 30 days from harvest, matured for 12 months in oak. It's a burnished, rusty, crimson, orange-like colour. It's textural in the mouth but not to an exaggerated degree.It treads lightly as it trips through the mouth, each step careful but fluent. It tastes of oranges and pears, woodsy spices and strawberry sorbet. Wood smoke too. It takes a few mouthfuls to adjust to its way of thinking."Campbell Mattinson[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

12Rosé, Tasting Notes

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Mornington Rose, fermented in old oak. On the money. Lovely drink. Dry and savoury in part but the centre is juicy and fruit-filled. Tangerine, red cherry, fennel and dry spice. Another very good release. Rated : 92 Points Tasted : Mar19 Alcohol : 13% Price : $28 Closure : Screwcap Drink : 2019 - 2021Campbell Mattinson[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

10Pinot Grigio Tradizionale, Wine

Max Allen for The Financial Review May 10, 2017There’s a pinot gris for every nuance of Asian cuisine ‘one of the Mornington Peninsula’s best pinot gris producers, Paul Scorpo, has just released a very different new expression of the variety – wild-fermented on skins, barrel-aged – that he reckons would go well with a rustic Italian lentil soup.Called Bestia, the beautiful copper-coloured wine (reviewed below) was inspired both by memories of his father’s winemaking at home in the shed in Coburg and by his daughter’s glowing reviews of amber-coloured skin-contact pinot grigio she’d tried on a trip to Italy five years ago. It’s a bloody marvellous wine – one of

10Pinot Noir, Tasting Notes, Wine

Wine: Mornington Peninsula International Pinot Noir Celebration The eighth biennial Mornington Peninsula International Pinot Noir Celebration last month was bigger and better than ever. I’m reasonably sure I’ve attended them all – I was reminded that I was keynote speaker at the first event in 2001 – and I witnessed the way this year’s committee balanced the interests of the 35 Mornington wineries involved (who paid for the event), 31 producers from elsewhere in Australia, two leading estates from Burgundy, and the 220 people attending all sessions. Then there were the 23 panellists from the US, France, New Zealand and Australia drawn from the ranks of winemakers, researchers, wine
