Pale lemon in colour with an elegant nose of lemon rind, barley water, honeysuckle and alyssum flowers and a salty savoury note.
The savoury salted preserved lemon notes lead on the palate, with tangy, just ripe white nectarine on the mid palate. Elegant textures and fresh acid line. Long and lean with flinty notes on the finish.
A founding winery of the Mornington Peninsula at the very southern tip of the mainland, 1.5 hours south of Melbourne, the Moorooduc Estate has been planted since 1983. Family owned and run by Richard with his wife and daughter, focused on single plot Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Organically dry-farmed, all the wild yeast, no fining or filtration and they’ve always worked with the same three vineyards (their own, their viticulturalist’s and one leased from family friends).
