Mantons Creek Estate

Mantons Creek Estate

Located on the Mornington Peninsula, Mantons Creek Estate is renowned for the cool climate, maritime-style wines produced with award winning quality. Previously an orchard and herb farm, the first vines were planted in 1994. Mantons Creek Estate has had four family owners over the years, with the Pellicano family taking over in 2017. The winery specialises in cool climate pinots and chardonnay, with a few unique varieties such as gewürztraminer, pinot meunier and tempranillo.

With 7.7-hectares under vine on-site, Mantons Creek Estate produces up to ten different wines a year. The eight varieties grown on the property are single vineyard, estate-grown and managed with sustainable, sensible viticultural practises. The vines are hand-pruned and harvested, and dry-grown.

The delectable varieties of Mantons Creek Estate leaves tastebuds dancing and the head spinning (you just can’t stop drinking!). Not only offering guided wine tastings at the cellar door, but produce is also available during certain seasons, as avocados, olives, stone fruit, citrus and more is grown on the property.

With views across the vines and the hinterland beyond, the epicurean Mantons Creek Estate is a secluded and tranquil haven. Offering accommodation, four rooms each well-appointed and designed to provide visitors with a memorable stay. The Pinot and Muscat suites offer a king bed, ensuite and private balcony overlooking the vineyard below. Upon entering the driveway, the resident donkey, Humphrey, will happily greet guests. From the accommodation’s balcony, sheep and other local wildlife can be spotted in the surrounding paddocks. Mantons Creek Estate offers guests the option to dine during their wine tastings. The menu features Italian-inspired cuisine with a modern Australian twist – the perfect addition to the stunning wines. Whether visiting for the day or staying to enjoy the Mantons Creek experience for longer, this winery has the package for you. Wine tastings, delicious food, accommodation and the rolling landscape of the Mornington Peninsula – unforgettable.

Tasting Notes

2020 Gewürztraminer

Light and minimally fined to preserve its natural beauty with an explosion of lychee and rose petals. Round, mouth filling and floral, with sweet spices. This wine is the perfect match to chilli. 

2019 Chardonnay

Elegant, full flavoured, with intense spice, citrus and tropical fruits on the nose. This wine is perfectly balanced, with notes of oak and vanilla and a creamy texture with a buttery and lingering finish on the palate

2021 Hillside Pinot Noir
⇐ 2022 Hillside Pinot Noir

Soft on the palate, this wine has overtones of wild berry, ripe cherry and a hint of mixed spice. Maturing for 12 months in French oak barrels offers a harmonious, delicate tannins and a lingering finish

2022 Mantons Creek Heartbreak Hill Tempranillo
⇐ 2022 Heartbreak Hill Tempranillo

A Spanish classic. Has developed perfectly, enjoying the cool climate of the Mornington Peninsula. Fragrances of plums and peppers on the nose and flavours of wild berries, mixed spice and a dash of vanilla.
