Specialising in cool climate wines produced with minimum chemical use from a single vineyard, Whinstone aims to produce wines which are elegant, fruit driven and affordable.
Whinstone Estate was established in 1994. Since that time the vineyard has developed a reputation for growing exceptionally fine fruit which has been sold to several of the larger premium winemakers on the Mornington Peninsula. At the same time grapes were put aside to make wines under the Whinstone label. Varieties grown at Whinstone Estate are Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadet/Melon. These wines became available under the Whinstone label late in 2003. Several vintages have been cellared to allow the wines to develop.
Whinstone Estate's cellar door is now open every weekend and on public holidays (except Christmas Day and Good Friday) from 11am to 5pm for free tastings of the Whinstone Estate range including latest releases. Vertical tastings can be arranged. The Cellar Door is open every day through January.
The name of the vineyard was derived from a geological name for the rocks that appeared when the vineyard was being prepared for planting. Situated on the slopes of a beautiful valley on the Mornington peninsula the vineyard enjoys a Northwest aspect
