2023 Top Paddock Pinot Noir
Top Paddock represents the pinnacle of Pinot Noir from Frogs Pond. Perfumed aromas of cherry and berries lead into a palate of remarkable elegance and depth. Silky tannins provide structure and length, allowing the fruit to shine with purity and precision. A sophisticated expression of the unique character of Frogs Pond and its place within the celebrated Mornington Peninsula wine region.

2022 Pinot Noir
This Pinot Noir is at a wonderful stage of its development. It has the classic Mornington Peninsula cherries but with an additional note that comes straight out of a temperate rain forest. It is silky and long and will live for ages if you can resist the temptation to drink it!

2022 Chardonnay
This Chardonnay is replete with citrus notes, which give the wine a wonderful line and focus. A little lemon curd and tropical fills out the palate. A lovely creamy texture and crisp acid finish completes the picture. It could easily be laid down for some years.
Our Vines
Nestled within the cool-climate sub-region of Red Hill, Frogs Pond benefits from a unique combination of elevation, rich volcanic soils and cooling maritime influences. Positioned 140 metres above sea level, the vineyard's north-facing slopes form a natural amphitheatre, providing warmth, shelter and ideal growing conditions for exceptional fruit.
For more than three decades, the vineyard has produced expressive Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Rosé, celebrated for their balance, complexity and natural acidity. These qualities are the result of both place and stewardship, carefully nurtured through every season.
The vineyard is overseen by respected viticulturist Geoff Clark, whose deep understanding of the Mornington Peninsula's soils and microclimates spans almost thirty years. Working alongside acclaimed winemaker Michael Kyberd, one of the region's most experienced and respected wine professionals, they continue to honour the character of Frogs Pond through wines that reflect both the vineyard and the season from which they came.
