      Located on the Mornington Peninsula, Kooyong is a specialist Pinot Noir and Chardonnay producer; their Massale Pinot Noir consistently delivers one of the region's best value examples. Produced from a blend of estate grown Pinot Noir parcels from Kooyong's Tuerong and Balnarring vineyards, the 2023 Kooyong Massale Pinot Noir. Semi translucent red to dark red colour with black shaded edges and a vibrant light red hue. Perfumed aromas of violets, dark cherries and anise sail out of the glass followed by some strawberries, brambly dried herbs, forest floor and spice. Delicious cherry and strawberry fruits are layered across the palate with a supple feel. Sitting underneath are notions of anise, forest floor, dried herbs and spice. Velvet smooth tannins with fresh acidity lending energy to the spicy red fruited finish that shows good length.

    Kooyong

    Kooyong is planted to 40 hectares of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris between an altitude of 105 and 120m above sea level. The first vines were planted in 1996 and the original blocks comprise five distinct sites Faultline, Farrago, Meres, Haven & Ferrous of which three are planted to Pinot Noir and two to Chardonnay.

    The cultural practices of Kooyong respect and nurture the inherent character of each of the vineyard sites. All vines are hand cane pruned in Winter. In Spring, shoot thinning removes excess shoots and optimises canopy density. The best section of each vineyard is reserved for the Single Vineyard wines.

    The soils of Kooyong are distinctive. The bedrock found at depth is sedimentary: an ancient weathered sandstone dating back to the Ordovician period some 450 million years ago. The surface soils are sedimentary also, only this time laid down by a marine incursion which occurred during the Miocene epoch 5-10 million years ago.
