2021 Stonier Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir
A Refined Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir with Bright Fruit and Cool-Climate Precision
My Wine Man on Stonier
Stonier is one of the Mornington Peninsula's most respected cool-climate producers, known for crafting Pinot Noir that reflects purity, balance and regional expression. The 2021 vintage delivers a composed and elegant style — focused on red fruit, subtle savoury complexity and fine structure. It's a Pinot built around freshness and drinkability rather than weight, showing the finesse that defines the best wines of the Peninsula.
Tasting Notes
Red cherry, strawberry and cranberry form the core profile, lifted by subtle spice, dried herbs and gentle earthy undertones. The palate is light to medium-bodied with silky tannins and fresh acidity, giving the wine shape and definition while keeping the texture smooth and refined. The finish is clean, delicate and quietly persistent.
Food Pairing
A Pinot Noir of this balance pairs best with lighter, refined proteins. We love it with Free Range Chicken Breast Fillet from My Meat Man — pan-roasted or served with mushrooms and herbs — where the wine's red cherry fruit and gentle earthy notes complement the savoury depth of the dish without overpowering it. It also works beautifully with duck breast, roasted salmon or mushroom-based pasta, where the wine's freshness and subtle spice enhance the natural umami of the food.
Why This Is a Smart Buy
