Established in 1981, Richard and Jill McIntyre’s Moorooduc Estate is a small, family-run wine business with an enviable reputation for complex and food-friendly wines.
Moorooduc Estate offers some of the finest Mornington Peninsula wine and hand-crafted produce available for tasting and purchase at the cellar door.
Intensive, hands-on care in the vineyard with minimal use of chemicals, produces the best possible fruit for their wines. Wild yeast ferments, minimal intervention winemaking, with a nod to traditional Burgundian techniques, allow their wines to express site specificity or terroir.
Tasting Notes
95 Points James Halliday
From Dijon clones 95 and 96, with cloudy juice wild-fermented in French oak. Stone fruit, melon and hazelnut aromas set the scene for the elegant, calm and unhurried palate; both this and The Moorooduc are of high quality, but are very different expositions of chardonnay.
