Mim's Vinyard - Chirping Bird Shiraz & Moscato
The Mornington Peninsula, nestled between two bays, is not just one of Australia’s premier wine regions but also an idyllic place to while away a lazy afternoon or two.
Mim’s Vineyard is in Moorooduc, the most northern of the Mornington Peninsula wine Region on a picturesque 10 acre property. Moscato
Sassy, lively and fresh, this wine is summer in a bottle. The nose of the wine is highly fragrant with intense fruit flavours, which continue through the palate.
At once mouth-filling and refreshing – due to its gentle spritz – the Chirping Bird Moscato is great drinking now. Shiraz
This handpicked shiraz exhibits typical cool climate characteristics, with an abundance of intense ripe fruit, spiciness and a hint of American oak on the palate.
The Chirping Bird Shiraz is ready to be enjoyed immediately or, if you’re patient type, will reward with cellaring.
