MARCH: Regional Escape

Once just a large picnic area for bored Melbournian’s, Mornington has well and truly established itself as a premium wine region. While a number of varieties are grown on the peninsular it is the Burgundian double act of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that are the regions clear specialties.

While there are plenty of established names and bigbrands in Mornington, what really makes the region interesting are the small producers. The region seems to be able to produce a plethora of small family estates and funky garage wines (probably due to all those bored Melbournians).

So to celebrate this fact The Oak Barrel are putting on a tasting! Join them for a relaxed evening as they taste a selection of high quality, delicious and above all interesting wines from this so often talked about region.
