Portsea Estate
The Portsea Estate vineyards are located on the southern tip of Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, overlooking Bass Strait. A family farm for over 100 years, our original Portsea Vineyard is shaped by ancient limestone deposits, calcareous sands and humus-rich topsoil formed over thousands of years.
Our Main Ridge Vineyard offers a contrasting expression of the Peninsula, planted on ancient basalt-derived soils with underlying clay.
Across both vineyards, we farm according to regenerative viticultural principles and are certified under Sustainable Winegrowing Australia, nurturing healthy soils, biodiversity and the natural balance of our vineyard ecosystems for generations to come.
Visit: By Appointment Only (minimum 4)
The coastal Portsea Estate site has distinct soils that heavily influence the wine flavor profiles and drive our highly intentional regenerative farming practices.
As the delicate soil is highly prone to erosion, we use ustilise under-vine line trimming rather than aggressive cultivation. Cover crops are allowed to grow tall to push roots deep into the limestone layer, feeding the block’s rapidly increasing, delicate subterranean mycorrhizal fungal networks. The broader site is supported by an on-site nursery breeding over 20,000 indigenous Moonah and Banksia trees to re-establish the area’s native woodland ecology
