Tricia Byrnes and Kevin Bell first planted vines at their Balnarring property in 1998 with the sole intention of creating three single-vineyard Pinots. Their philosophy centres around respect for the environment, as they see their most important role as viticulturists before winemakers, and each of their wines is a testament to the care they put into tending their fruit.

The Hommage exhibits black cherries on the nose with herbaceous notes of sage and thyme. The palate has complex tastes of black cherries, blood plums, subtle herbaceousness and charcuterie meats. Medium-bodied and tightly knitted but with lush fruit character and powdery tannins making the mouthfeel sweeter and softer. An absolute delight to drink and a must-try for any lovers of Mornington Pinot.
