2004 Main Ridge Estate Mornington Peninsula Victoria Australia Pinot Noir

Main Ridge Estate was the first commercial winery on the Mornington Peninsula in 1975. Owner Nat White (photo below) was inspired by a visit to Burgundy in 1966. The 7.5 acre vineyard is planted on deep red balsatic soils and dry farmed. Intense human intervention in the vineyard enables minimal intervention in the winery where natural yeast and bacteria are utilized to help define the site characteristics. · A Pinot Noir of great elegance and grace with plenty of fruit interest.
