Circe

Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir from Victoria's cool maritime climate.

Circe produces Pinot Noir on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, a cool-climate region where the variety finds structure and aromatic clarity. The winery's Hillcrest Road Vineyard Pinot Noir represents the upper register of its output, while its core Pinot Noir expressions demonstrate the consistency of the site. The maritime influence of Port Phillip moderates ripening, allowing for wines of precision rather than overripeness. Wine Advocate, Decanter, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Falstaff have all assessed Circe's releases, with the Hillcrest Road bottling achieving particular recognition among prestige critics. The winery's focus remains narrow: Pinot Noir in its various iterations, each reflecting the cool-climate terroir of the Mornington Peninsula.
