Ophelia Pinot Noir Chardonnay 2005
Made from traditional sparkling varieties Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier, fruit for Ophelia was picked specifically for sparkling wine production and was sourced from cool climate regions where natural acidity and fine citrus flavours are in balance. Spending 30 months on its yeast lees, Ophelia has a lovely creamy texture with complex yeast and bready characters which complement the wine’s fine fruit flavours.

Juliet Pinot Grigio 2008
T'Gallant's expertise in crafting Pinot Grigio, developed during the years of working with the variety, has perfectly placed the winemakers to create Juliet, Australia's first good-value, yet high quality, cool climate Pinot Grigio. Juliet has scents of honey, pear and salt air. You can taste the ripe fruit. Juliet has a decadently full palate, savoury notes, soft acid, and a long deliciously ripe finish.

Juliet Sauvignon Blanc Chenin Blanc 2008
Referred to as ‘Blanc’d’ by friends of Juliet – pear and sweeter pineapple notes tickle the nose whilst there is racy, zippy acidity that creates a lively and palate cleansing texture.

Grace Pinot Grigio 2008
Harvested from five vineyards located on the peninsula's coastal plain, all with shallow pale clay or sand soils. These parcels are blended with the wine made from T'Gallant's “Car Park” block. This parcel of wine is like pure pear juice. Australia’s benchmark Pinot Grigio – fresh, flinty, oyster shell, delicate gooseberry...lovely length with a dollop of pear.

Volante 2006
The 2006 T'Gallant Volante Mornington Peninsula White Wine is an aromatic, textural wine constructed from equal parts of Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Viognier.

Lot 2 Chardonnay 2007
The 2007 T'Gallant Lot 2 Chardonnay is light straw in colour with a complex nose showing pure, lifted and dynamic fruit flavours. The lees complexity adds greatly to the bouquet with struck match and flint notes leading to beautiful nutty notes of cashew and hazelnut. The palate shows an exceptional acid backbone which supports the classic Peninsula Chardonnay length of flavour. The fruit from the Brickenden Vineyard shows subtlety and restraint of flavour which makes for a stylish and intriguing wine that is the perfect foil to fine foods.

Claudius 2007
The 2007 T'Gallant Claudius Mornington Peninsula white wine is on the edge, inspired in part by the controversial but fascinating wines of Josko Gravner in Friuli (in far North Eastern Italy, near the Slovenia border). A blend of Chardonnay (80%), Moscato Giallo (5%) and Gewurztraminer (15%), Claudius was made using red wine techniques such as extended maturation on skins, 100% new oak and bottling without fining or cold settling.

Pinot Noir can be exceptional when grown on the Mornington Peninsula. Site selection must be north facing and warm. Winemakers are very fussy about clone, crop levels and canopy management. T'Gallant vineyard management and winemakers work in harmony to achieve the optimum fruit quality.

Cyrano Pinot Noir 2006
The ultimate Pinot Noir year, the best…Kevin McCarthy claims that there have been three great Peninsula Pinot years – ’97, ’00 and ’04 and ’04 is the very best. All about exquisite flavour nuances, length, structure. Large crop loads were trimmed early to 3 tons per acre, cold maceration, extended vatting time and wild yeast fermentation. The wine drinks beautifully now – open, perfumed and voluptuous with spice and black fruit. Cellar for 5 years.

Moscato 2008
With lifted aromas of blossom, musk and spice, the frizzante style palate echoes these sensations, creating a refreshing, fruity wine experience. Moscato is the Italian word for Muscat and is a light, sightly sparkling wine known for its fresh fruit flavours. These fresh flavours are directly attributable to the winemaking process and are an essential element of the wine.
