Mornington Peninsula (wine)

The Mornington Peninsula is an Australian wine region located south of Melbourne, Victoria.

The still wine versions of Chardonnay reflect a diversity of styles, all typically oaked, from more citrus to more tropical fruit flavours.

By the turn of the century, economic decline, the threat of phylloxera and changing palatal preference impacted considerably on cool climate viticulture in Australia and by the 1920s these vineyards had been abandoned.

It displays the region's capabilities at producing some of Australia's finest Pinot Noir in front of local and international audiences.

It has helped in benefiting pinot noir growers and wineries across the Mornington Peninsula by promoting the region in international markets, supporting export sales and wine tourism.
