Its practical identity is: Maritime Victorian peninsula GI focused on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Typical grapes include Pinot Noir; Chardonnay; Pinot Gris. The wines are commonly supple Pinot Noir with red cherry and spice; Chardonnay with citrus, stone fruit, and saline freshness. The growing setting is cool maritime peninsula with sea breezes, rolling hills, and varied brown loams and volcanic soils.
