Homely little cellar door down the road from Port Phillip. Lounge suit, coffee table, kids toys and fireplace – you’d think you were visiting old friends. Cosy, warm and welcoming. A couple of poodles scamper around while you get your bearings and settle in for the tasting, which, I have to say, was rather surprising. The sparkling was enjoyable but the Pinot Gris was one the best, if not the best I’ve had on the Peninsula. Fine length with distinct flavour and a sweetish finish. The Chardonnays were also very good. Pinot Gris – Viognior was an interesting and pleasant blend and along with the Pinot Gris, the Rose was a standout. Rose lightness and freshness but lengthy and complex. The friendly banter across the counter was lovely. I will go back here when I need some more Gris and Rose which both offer something different for the odd meal when the usual whites aren’t quite right.
