Port Phillip is a zone within the Victoria wine region of Australia. Some call it “Melbourne’s dress circle” for its trend of high-quality boutique wineries located near this major city where they are showcased in bistros and winebars. However, these wines, particularly from the Yarra Valley, have also made a splash in other parts of the world.
The Port Phillip Bay provides cooling climate conditions for most of the area, but parts further inland experience hotter weather. For this reason, the region boasts an array of styles from sparkling, to dry white to light and full-bodied red and sweet.
The subregions of Port Phillip are:
* Geelong
* Macedon Ranges
* Mornington Peninsula
* Sunburry
* Yarra Valley
Other wineries which do not fit into these zones have cropped up outside the eastern suburbs of Melbourne and French Island, such as Cannibal Creek, Chestnut Hill, French Island Read more »

My wine club did a Pinot Noir tasting this month. This was one of the recommended wines for the tasting, but our wine buyer was hesitant as Australia is not known for Pinot Noir. I poured it first, expecting it to be the worst of the 5 we tasted. WOW! This is one terrific Pinot! Very lush and flavorful, without a harsh finish like some Pino... Read More

I didn't see the vintage of the bottle I had, but it's fun to bring this one to a party. It's different and a real crowd pleaser. It's an intense wine to drink & not something you will really want to drink more than a glass of, but very fun to share this one with others. Read More
