About the wine
Mornington Peninsula Masterpiece
- Pinot G is a sensuous, hedonistic experience. The cool maritime conditions of the Mornington Peninsula paradoxically produce this opulent style, particularly on the higher red volcanic soils.
- The nose has an alluring aroma of perfectly ripe white pear, with a whiff of sea air.
- This Pinot is voluptuous and generous. So, whilst being dry, it has weight and significant textural mouthfeel. The delicious ripe pear flavour is enhanced by a particular "salty" savoriness. This adds a fascinating dimension to the wine.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Kevin McCarthy
- Kevin's award-winning winemaking career spans decades and his success is largely thanks to his silky talents and his steely courage. Widely recognised as the founding father of Pinot Gris/Grigio in Australia, Kevin McCarthy is, and always has been, a rebel - a deadset heretic.
- Taught by the masters in Alsace, France and Collio, Italy, he's helped change the Australian wine landscape as we know it. Kevin was encouraged by his mentors to take risks, experiment and ignore fear. As a result, his first venture many years ago, the famous T’Gallant winery put the Mornington Peninsula wine region firmly on the map. It was there, in 1993, they released their first Pinot Grigio and the Aussie Pinot G revolution was underway!
- Liberated by Angels in 2013, Kevin continues along the path less travelled, inspired by winemaking experiences around the globe. For the past twenty years he's travelled Victoria and South Australia looking for special vineyards and uses premium fruit from the Mildura region as well as the Mornington Peninsula in his fabuous wines.
