About the wine
Cool and complex from Mornington Peninsular!
- Here it is, the first Mornington Peninsula Pinot for Angels! Tom and Kevin have captured the vintage conditions like lighting in a bottle so that you can lap up this perfect representation of all the region has to offer. With ideal conditions throughout the season and perfect undisturbed ripening, 2015 is regarded as a classic Mornington Peninsula vintage.
- Aromas of freshly picked strawberries will leap out of the glass, with some spice and stems from the berries. It's a perfectly poised Pinot Noir; seductive and delicate yet humming with an inherent power. The wine will age beautifully for 10 years and become entirely different as the primary fruit evolves into dense floral notes with leather and cigar in the background.
- Prepare for a textured palate that gets more intense as it goes down your throat. Perfect to share with friends over a meal, but if you're hard pressed to share this tasty drop then why not double it up in your basket, especially at this incredible Angel price!

Enjoy now or until 2025
Serving advice
Open to breath about half an hour before serving at room temperature, 16-18°C.
Food match
Here's the chance to get a little bit decadent. In keeping with the Mornington Peninsular's ocean surrounds some lobster, scallops or abalone done in a rich butter sauce would be a wonderful pairing! Of course it's tough to steer away from the classic duck match.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Kevin McCarthy
- Kevin's award-winning winemaking career spans decades and his success is largely thanks to his silky talents and his steely courage. Widely recognised as the founding father of Pinot Gris/Grigio in Australia, Kevin McCarthy is, and always has been, a rebel - a deadset heretic.
- Taught by the masters in Alsace, France and Collio, Italy, he's helped change the Australian wine landscape as we know it. Kevin was encouraged by his mentors to take risks, experiment and ignore fear. As a result, his first venture many years ago, the famous T’Gallant winery put the Mornington Peninsula wine region firmly on the map. It was there, in 1993, they released their first Pinot Grigio and the Aussie Pinot G revolution was underway!
- Liberated by Angels in 2013, Kevin continues along the path less travelled, inspired by winemaking experiences around the globe. For the past twenty years he's travelled Victoria and South Australia looking for special vineyards and uses premium fruit from the Mildura region as well as the Mornington Peninsula in his fabuous wines.
