Tasting Notes
Medium garnet in colour with red and black cherry fruit on the nose, tightly wound around subtle yet complex aromas including licorice root, cocoa, sage and rosemary and exotic cedar spice.
Opening up slowly on the palate to reveal black cherry fruit, kirsch, and more of the complex aromas that are revealing on the nose.
This single vineyard wine from our home vineyard in Derril Road is further evidence of what our fine vineyard site and mature vines can produce in a really good year. It includes some wine from interesting clones grafted onto our old Cabernet vines (planted in 1983). - Winery Note
Moorooduc Estate is one of the Mornington Peninsula’s founding family wineries, established in 1981 by Richard and Jill McIntyre. From its inception, the estate has been dedicated to producing site-driven, small-batch wines that reflect the region’s cool maritime climate and limestone-rich soils. Over four decades, Moorooduc has earned a reputation for crafting some of the Peninsula’s most refined and age-worthy examples of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Viticulture is conducted with sustainable, low-intervention practices, focusing on vine health, soil vitality and balanced yields. The fruit is hand-picked from estate vineyards around Moorooduc and nearby sites, each contributing distinct expressions of place. In the cellar, winemaking follows a traditional Burgundian approach: wild fermentations, minimal handling, and judicious use of French oak to frame rather than dominate the fruit.
The resulting wines are known for their purity, texture and longevity—Pinot Noirs that combine perfume and fine tannin with savoury depth, and Chardonnays that balance tension, minerality and gentle richness. Under the stewardship of winemaker Kate McIntyre MW, Moorooduc Estate continues to set the standard for elegance and consistency in Mornington Peninsula wine.
