Mornington Peninsula, Victoria
Rahona Valley Vineyard, in Red Hill, is just over an hours drive south of Melbourne on the Mornington Peninsula. Red Hill overlooks Mount Martha and Port Phillip Bay in the west and Point Leo and Westernport Bay in the east.
Starting from scratch in 1991, the north facing 1.6 hectare vineyard surrounded by bushland now has approximately 5000 hand tended wines of mostly Pinot Noir grapes with a small block of Pinot Meunier. The condition are excellent for Pinot : Deep well drained red basalt soil, cool maritime climate and along ripening period.
All Rahona Valley wines are estate grown and made and we range the Pinot Noir the Pinot Meuniere as well as a " new " Sparkling white that is very impressive and of very limited availability ; we think that John Salmon made this wine for himself initially and only by some arm twisting did we get a small allocation !
