“The Grand Cru vineyard of the Mornington Peninsula”
Andrew Caillard, Master of Wine
Main Ridge Estate is an ideal site for producing exceptional wines. Nat and Rosalie White saw the potential of the site and over four decades built an enviable winemaking reputation.
Since 2015, winemaker James Sexton has successfully built on that legacy continuing the Estate’s traditions, whilst introducing new methodologies focussed on enhancing quality and sustainability of the vineyard.
In recent years, production has been carefully expanded to include fruit from other small Main Ridge vineyards, owned by friends and neighbours. The result is a more diverse range of Main Ridge Estate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay styles, which reflect the respective terroirs of the vineyards.

Please note:
- Like many Mornington Peninsula wineries we have suffered adverse weather conditions during the Spring flowering over the 5 years, causing poor fruit-set and in turn low yields.
- The small levels of production means wine stock levels are very low, and we have had to impose purchase limits and restrict trade sales.
- A $5 discount per bottle will be applied to purchases of 12 bottles or more
- American Express payments cannot be used online, but are happy to process by phone
