Winemaking: Ocean Eight Vineyard and Winery is owned by the Aylward family - founders of the renowned Kooyong winery, and was established in 2004 in the southern and cooler side of Mornington Peninsula. In their state-of-the-art, temperature controlled, gravity fed winery, winemaker Mike Aylward produces stunning cool climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, taking influence from the great old world wine regions of Alsace, Burgundy and Champagne. All the grapes for the Ocean Eight wines are sourced from the family’s 17 hectares of vineyards and their total production each year is just 5,000 cases.
