Wine
You just won't find a better value Pinot Noir in Mornington Peninsula than Yabby Lake's Red Claw Pinot Noir. This is made in a similar vein to the Yabby Lake Single Vineyard Pinot Noir just in a more approachable style. It's all about bright, lively fruit, a soft, supple mid-palate and a juicy, pleasing finish which drags you back to the glass. For mid-week Pinot Noir from a top-flight producer, there are few other examples which offer the value for money than the Red Claw. 92 points "An appealing, plush and vibrant wine with lots of spices, some pepper complementing the sweet cherry fruit. Mid-weighted, with supple tannins and mouth-watering acidity ensuring this is not only good on its own but better with food." - Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)
Founded in 1731, Bouchard Père et Fils has built up an estate of 130ha and, collectively, is the largest owner of Grand Crus (12ha) and Premier Crus (74ha) across the Côte d’Or. Bright straw colour with a watery hue. Filing the nostrils are pronounced scents of peach, dried honey and crème brulee with hints of bacon fat, cashew and citrusy nougat characteristics also evident. Rich with a broad feel across the palate, fleshy peach, dried honey, ripe pear and crème brulee flavours overlay traces of bacon fat, roasted almond and spice. River stone like texture finishing fresh and refined with ample length. Drink over the next 3-4 years. Alc. 12.5%
Mouth-wateringly creamy flavours of lemon curd and jasmine are cradled by lightly toasted oak. A beautifully fruity, textured and mouth-filling chardonnay, it’s masterfully constructed and incredibly more-ish. Teams up brilliantly with roast chicken, pork and ginger gyoza or hard goats cheese. WINEMAKER'S COMMENTS For us Chardonnay is all about balance. Firstly and most crucially the vineyards we select are meticulously cared for, which grow fruit with natural balance between the main elements of wine – sugar, flavor, and acidity. Our job is to harness these elements and nurture the fruit through the winemaking process, coaxing out texture through regular lees stirring. This wine pairs well with many of your favourite dishes, weaving elegantly around flavours without dominating your palate.
Pale golden straw. A lifted bouquet of lemon pith and spring blossoms. A fresh lively palate of lemon pith and sherbert, fruit sweet and refreshing with a long linear tight acid finish.

Semi translucent red to dark red core with black shaded edges and a vibrant red hue. Fragrant aromas of violet, dark cherry, strawberry and anise sail through the olfactory senses followed by forest floor, brambly cedar, dried herb and spice notes. Delicious red to dark cherry and strawberry fruits flow across the palate with traces of anise, dried clove and spice also evident. Light, fresh and elegant in its feel, it possesses polished tannins, lively acidity and a savoury mid length finish. Drink over the next 4-5 years. Alc. 13%
Nashi pear & honeydew melon with hints of blossom and a touch of citrus pith. PALATE The palate is generous with abundant mouth fi lling fruit sweetness. Tropical fl avours combine with classic pear characters and the fresh ‘sweet & sour’ of mandarin citrus pith. Finishes clean and refreshing. In 2022 our Pinot Grigio was sourced from Central Victoria as well as the King Valley. A strong growing season, interspersed with some rain events and disease pressures has resulted in our 2022 Grigio displaying a good mix of classic characters as well as those from the tropical spectrum. Clean, crisp and versatile, this is a wine for all occasions. Share this wine
