A Legacy of Craftsmanship
Main Ridge Estate is a celebrated Mornington Peninsula winery, dedicated to crafting elegant,
expressive wines that reflect the region’s ancient volcanic soils and cool maritime climate.
Founded in 1975 by Nat and Rosalie White, Main Ridge Estate has always championed quality
winemaking, with a focus on single-vineyard character and meticulous small-batch production.
In 2015, following the Whites’ retirement, the Sexton family purchased the estate and made it their home. Winemaker James Sexton—a Charles Sturt University–trained Bachelor of Wine Science and
former sommelier—has honoured and continued the estate’s heritage for the past decade.
Thoughtful Growth & Local Partnerships
Beginning in 2021, Main Ridge Estate expanded its production with fruit sourced from
three nearby Main Ridge vineyards owned by neighbours and friends:
2021: Trueman Vineyard. 2023: Harvey Vineyard. 2025: Mary’s Vineyard
While growing, the estate remains committed to staying small, premium, and hands on.
The team is closely involved in viticultural management across all sites, ensuring that each wine
reflects its unique terroir—interpreted through the lens of the Main Ridge Estate winery.
