Tasting Notes
This is a more modern take on an Orange (skin contact) wine. The wine looks more like Pinot Noir, smells like Pinot Noir and tastes a little like Pinot Noir, but it's not. So, for all you Pinophiles out there who may want something even lighter in body this is the wine for you. Or perhaps you are new to skin contact wines and are looking to ease yourself into it... give it a try! - Chris L
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.
