This cool-climate dry red comes from the Mornington Peninsula, one of the southernmost points of mainland Australia. The McIntyre family dry-farms, uses wild yeast, and all fruit is sourced from the same three vineyards. One quarter new oak is used for both barrel fermentation and aging for 17 months. Floral and delicately spiced, pair this with chicken and stewed plums.

Staff Pick Notes

Located just an hour south of Melbourne on the Mornington Peninsula, the Moorooduc Estate has built a stellar reputation for producing delicious food friendly wines with character. This wine is a shining example of that: elegant, fresh, and balanced, it's a smooth, savory pinot noir with tasty notes of cranberries, dark cherries, and clove. This bottle represents a wonderful third way of pinot noir: not quite Burgundy, not quite American - it's got an identity all its own. Medium bodied, slightly spicy, and made with 100% wild yeast, its simply a gorgeous pinot that doesn't need food to be thoroughly enjoyed. That said, it will pair beautifully with grilled Middle Eastern dishes, and its a great option for your next turkey dinner. Can't recommend this wine enough.

Terroir, the concept that wines from a specific region have unique and identifiable traits, is intricately...

Australia

Australian Shiraz (made from the grape called “Syrah” in other parts of the world) shows the essence of the outback: it’s big, bold, and a little rough around the edges. The vast country leaves lots of room for variation, however, with its many terroirs each yielding distinctively styled wines. The climate of South Australia’s McLaren Vale district is heavily influenced by the ocean; wines here typically show savory notes of olive and spice on the nose and deep berry flavors on the palate....

Victoria

The state of Victoria, adjacent to and southeast of South Australia, is Australia’s third-largest producer of wine. Climatically very varied (its higher-altitude vineyards are the coolest in Australia), Victoria is home to the most diverse assortment of vineyards in Australia, with a particular focus on cooler-climate varieties such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Shiraz production tends to be concentrated in the central viticultural regions of Grampians, Pyrenees, and Heathcote, where the...
