Moorooduc VIC 3933
Australia
At Moorooduc Estate on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, the land was found and purchased in 1982 after an extensive search for a promising vineyard site.
Five acres (2 ha) were planted in 1983 and the first wines were made in 1986. Since then, a further 7 Acres (3 ha) have been planted in 1987 and 1994.
The original small rammed earth winery has been upgraded but wine making continues in a small scale, hands on, labour intensive manner.
Mainly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir at three levels in a hierarchy of regional, subregional and individual vineyard wines - Devil Bend, Mooorooduc Estate and The Moorooduc,
The cellar door is open for tastings and wine sales Thursday to Monday, 11am to 4pm.
The restaurant onsite - Jills @ Moorooduc - is open Saturdays for dinner and for lunch Saturday and Sunday.
