Moorooduc Estate
Established in 1981 by Richard and Jill McIntyre, Moorooduc Estate is a small, family run wine business that has developed an enviable reputation for complex and food friendly wines.
Moorooduc Estate offers some of the finest of Mornington Peninsula wines and hand crafted produce available for tasting and purchase at cellar door; terrific food at Jill’s Restaurant and a secluded and exclusive weekend getaway.
Our philosophy in everything we do is to make the most of top quality ingredients. Intensive, hands-on care in the vineyard, with minimal use of chemicals, produces the best possible fruit for our wines. Wild yeast ferments and minimal intervention winemaking, with a nod to traditional Burgundian techniques, allow our wines to express their site specificity, or terroir. Similarly, in the restaurant we aim to source ingredients that are seasonal, local and organic.
Winemaker: Richard McIntyre
Vinification
Hand harvested
100% Wild yeast primary fermentation in a mixture of (older) French oak barrels and stainless steel.
Tasting Notes
Lovely fruit ripeness and acidity. Green gold in colour with a fresh pure nose of citrus, peach, apricot. Layers of lemon pith, beeswax and salted caramel flavours, a wild yeast addition adds a to a full bodied textural palate.
