A stylish and super-savoury drink.

About The Wine
Barnaby Flanders knows good Pinot Noir, and his reputation for producing top quality wines from Mornington has grown with each vintage release.
His Merricks Pinot is in a bit more full-bodied (in comparison to his other Pinots), but still retains finesse and elegance at the same time. Loads of unique personality, class and complexity to go along with lovely drinkability.
A great wine from one of the gem humans of the Peninsula.
About Garagiste
Garagiste is the brainchild of Barnaby Flanders.
After leaving Allies Wines in 2003 he embarked on a mission to produce small batch premium Pinot Noir and Chardonnay under his own label in his beloved Mornington Peninsula.
Barney loves the sub-regionality to be exploited in Mornington Peninsula, the slight alterations in aspect and soil profile within this small wine producing region provide him with the scaffolding around which he builds his stunning harem of small batch wines.
They are only ever made in small quantities so time is of the essence if you want to explore the world of Garagiste.
