Exceptional Dining

Australian Gourmet Traveller 2013 Restaurant Guide

ONE STAR
TWO WINE GLASSES

One of Australia’s top one hundred dining experiences, this estate is the very picture of a chic modernist château.

With awards for both its wines and it Wood Marsh design, a dining room with dramatic views and the possibility of a sybaritic stay in a vineyard suite.

Skilful, produce driven cooking closes the deal ... as obsessive about harvest integrity as wine maker Sandro Mosele. Exceptional by-the-glass drops from near and far arrive in their own miniature Riedel decanters, well paired with, perhaps addictive crab fritters capped with lemon aïoli, or a delicate tomato consommé over perfectly poached rock lobster.

Venison loin is the standout, sharing the plate with a plump raviolo filled with venison shin, field mushroom pâté and crushed peas. Finish on a wild ride of dark Belgian chocholate moëlleux, honeycomb, berries and basil sorbet. It just works. Affable service lifts an already elevated experience.

Explore. Indulge. Enjoy. There is a time for dirt floors and the charms of old-school wine Australia, and there is a time for lavish ultramodern.

Port Phillip Estate on the Mornington Peninsula is a classic in the making if ever there was one. Go there for lunch, for the sensational wines of Kooyong and Port Phillip Estate... and for overnight luxury!
