Tasting Notes
Tangerine, mandarin and a little green pear on the nose, forming an exotic but fresh mix.
The riper pear flavours are more exuberant on the palate early, but the freshness and zing of tangerine builds and provides nice length, leaving a crisp, refined & fresh finish that immediately invites another try. - Winery Note
What started as a part time job to earn a few dollars during his university days turned into a committed obsession. Michael worked in the family owned winery, Kooyong, spending time out in the vineyard, in the winery and on the road and the net result was a desire to make this his career.Following the sale of Kooyong Michael went into business with his parents to form Ocean Eight taking on the role of Winemaker and General Manager.To complete his education Michael undertook several study tours of France, concentrating on the hallowed vineyards and cellars of Burgundy.
Whilst he makes Mornington Peninsula wines he has applied the most salient Burgundian techniques to take the wines to another level. In 2011 Michael won the highly coveted 'Young Gun Of Wine " award. Leading wine writers Max Allen, Philip Rich and Nick Stock judged this competition. - Winery Note
