OLD APPLE SHED ON THE MORNINGTON PENINSULA
With the first vines planted in the 1980's, the Mornington Peninsula is one of Australia's newest wine regions. Albeit a newer region, it's cooler climate and fertile land has quickly made it one of Australia's most renowned regions for Pinot, Chardonnay & Sparkling varieties.
Although we're some of the new kids on the block with our cellar door established in 2017, the vines at Tallarida Estate are some of the oldest in the region, planted in 1988. With over 30 years experience, our winemaker, Mal Stewart, conjures up some of the most balanced wines and ciders you'll ever taste.
Traditional Method Champenoise Cuvée, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Moscato, Rosé, Shiraz, Ciders and many more decadent delights, we have little something for everyone at Old Apple Shed on the Mornington Peninsula. Live music every Sunday
