Marinda Park Vineyard
What does Marinda Park mean?
We wanted the name of our vineyard, winery and cellar door to encapsulate our feelings about living here, and so we settled on the name Marinda Park. It reflects the family nature of our business, (Marinda is an anagram of Mark and Belinda); it is a derivative of the aboriginal word “merindah” meaning beautiful place; and we hope to be “parked here for the long term.
Our Place
Why Australia and why the Mornington Peninsula?
After being corporate nomads for 25 years, and having lived on every continent except Antarctica, we had very well defined criteria for the selection of a property. We chose the Peninsula for its beauty, the lifestyle it offered our two young sons Simon and Jeremy, and it’s developing fame as a cool climate wine region.
After carefully searching for the best combination of aspect, soil and climate, we purchased 16 hectares just outside Balnarring, at the “warmer” northern end of the Mornington Peninsula in
January 2000.
We live right in the middle of the property and about 50m from the cellar door buildings. All the water on the property is rainwater, bore water or dam water, each of which is designed to drain off into the other so that minimal wastage occurs.
Climate
We have a Mediterranean (winter rain) maritime cool climate. There is negligible frost and no snow. The Peninsula has a growing reputation for growing premium Pinot Noir, Chardonnay,
Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling. The best times weather-wise to visit are November/December and late February through April. At these times you’ll usually experience lots of sun and little rain. January and February can have days of 40 degrees plus, however nights are cooler.
Cellar Door
Try an impressive line up of handcrafted, cool climate wine including Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Merlot made by highlyregarded winemaker Sandro Mosele. Enjoy refreshing "French Cider"produced using local apples - paying homage to an era when orchards
dominated the Peninsula
Provincial Café
Experience warmth and rustic fare; share French favourites with regional inspiration. We aim to satisfy all of the senses in the glass and at the table.Our Cellar Door and café is open from 11.00 am until 5.00 pm each day for wine tasting, lunch and casual food
