Merricks Estate

MORNINGTON PENINSULA, VICTORIA

Situated on lush, gentle slopes in sight of Western Port Bay, Merricks Estate was one of the region's first commercial vineyards, planted in 1978 by the Kefford family. Today, the 55-acre property (10 acres under vine) produces award-winning wines, while creating a sustainable environment for our native wildlife.

What is unique about the wines you produce? Since 1982, we have produced high-quality chardonnay, rosé, pinot noir, shiraz and cabernet sauvignon. We pride ourselves on releasing older vintages when just right and our 2017 Pinot Noir is something to be savoured.

How should we enjoy these wines this season? A great wine is to be enjoyed in wonderful company. Summer is all about entertaining and our wines are the perfect complement to summer dishes enjoyed with friends.
