Raised in Bannockburn, Victoria, amidst a small sheep and vineyard property, Philippa was immersed in a community deeply connected to the world of viticulture. Her early exposure to exquisite wines cultivated a profound appreciation within her.

Seeking to explore other paths, Philippa briefly ventured into a farming career to ascertain her true calling. This led her to Gippsland, but her unwavering passion for wine drove her to complete vintages at Bellvale, Bouzeron, Domaine Dujac, and By Farr.

The Mornington Pinot Noir originates from a 20-year-old vineyard primarily composed of clone 115, with a sprinkling of MV6 and 114.  As anticipated, this Pinot Noir exhibits immense power and complexity, with forest floor notes serving as a foundation for assertive, savory dark fruits, and an intriguing presence of briary whole bunch characteristics.
