Pigface is a lovely pink flowering succulent that you might see growing near Mornington Peninsula beaches, and it's a pretty name for this rather richly textured Chardonnay. Made from an organically farmed plot at Balnarring, on the lower side of the Peninsula, this is a medium- to full-bodied white with mealy, nutty fullness balanced out by a zesty finish, with the flavours stepped up thanks to the warm 2025 vintage.

Named after a slightly notorious surf break on the southern edge of the Mornington Peninsula, Kerri Greens is the work of Lucas Blanck and his wife, Alyce, alongside assistant winemaker (and resident Instagram star) Linda Stanzel. The Peninsula is an awful long way from home for Lucas, though, as his family run the Paul Blanck et Fils winery in Alsace, and he did his winemaking apprenticeship at the famed French wineries Domaine Zind-Humbrecht and Trimbach. Interestingly, Lucas's wines fit into a bit of the French and Aussie modes too - he makes Riesling (which is a grape you don't find much of around Mornington Peninsula) in multiple different styles, plus a pretty serious rosé, as well as rather classic Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Named among the 2026 Young Guns of Wine, it's not hard to see why there is lots of noise about Lucas and his brilliant wines already.
