Notable Awards
96 points - Decanter Magazine. "From the east-facing Merricks vineyard. Tightly wound, savoury style with lifted camomile and nutty, funky bacon fat and struck match. An exacting streak of acidity makes for great length. Fermented and aged for six months in French puncheons."

From its humble beginnings as a hobby farm, Stonier’s story begins with Brian Stonier, who was one of the first vignerons in the Mornington Peninsula. He planted Chardonnay in 1978, while his kids were surfing at the local beach. This viticultural hobby grew to become a great love for Brian, and in honour of his other great love, Champagne, he planted Pinot Noir in 1982. Stonier and the Mornington Peninsula have subsequently built their world-renowned reputation on these two varieties, as the region’s cool maritime climate makes for the perfect canvas to bring these varieties to life.
Stonier’s dedication to crafting premium Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and sparkling wine has never been stronger. The wines distinctly reflect the vineyards from which they come, expressing true varietal characteristics and Mornington Peninsula terroir.
