Victoria's most exciting cool-climate appellation on the peninsula between Port Phillip Bay and Bass Strait, producing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of genuine Burgundian finesse. The maritime climate — warmed by the Bay, cooled by Southern Ocean air — creates ideal growing conditions on red volcanic duplex soils. Sub-regions Red Hill, Main Ridge, and Merricks North each express distinct site characters within the peninsula's mosaic of micro-terroirs.
