Why Mark chose this case

Kooyong is based on Australia’s Mornington Peninsula, while Fattoria Mancini sits on the Adriatic coast of Italy’s Marche region. What connects them is the sea. For Kooyong, it is the cooling influence of the Tasman Sea; for Mancini, the Adriatic. In both places, that maritime influence helps moderate the climate, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly while retaining freshness, structure and elegance.

They are also both wineries that can be easily overlooked in favour of regions more famous for the varieties they grow. That would be a mistake.

If you love the finesse and complexity of great Burgundy, or the savoury elegance and structure of the best wines of Tuscany, these are two producers well worth discovering.

What’s in the case

  • White

    Kooyong Chardonnay Clonale 2023

    Australia · Mornington Peninsula · Chardonnay

    I like the Kooyong Clonale Chardonnay 2023 for its bright grapefruit and spice aromas and the clean interplay of nectarine, lemon oil and cashew leading to a fennel-like finish. The nine months on lees in French oak barriques and puncheons adds weight and creaminess without masking the fruit, so it's a good choice if you want a Chardonnay that's both fresh and substantial.

    Food match

    Try it with grilled nuts, seafood such as grilled fish or lobster, and creamy cheeses.

  • White

    Kooyong Single Vineyard Estate Chardonnay 2024

    Australia · Mornington Peninsula · Chardonnay

    Delicious

    The 2024 Kooyong Single Vineyard Estate Chardonnay is a premium wine from the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia. This cool-climate Chardonnay is celebrated for its complexity and depth

    Food match

    Light seafood, such as grilled salmon and shellfish, as well as creamy cheeses like Brie and Camembert

  • Red

    Kooyong Single Vineyard Estate Pinot Noir 2024

    Australia · Mornington Peninsula · Pinot Noir

    Aromas of wild strawberry, cranberry and red cherry are lifted by subtle forest herb and rose petal notes, with hints of gentle spice adding complexity. The palate is medium-bodied and finely textured, with juicy red fruit, silky tannins and fresh acidity that keeps the wine lifted and focused.

    An amazing, complex Pinot Noir from cool‑climate Australia — I like it because it shows the finesse cool sites can bring, and it’s the sort of nuanced red customers who enjoy expressive Pinot will appreciate.

    Food match

    Serve with game dishes and hard cheese.

  • White

    Fattoria Mancini Impero Blanc de Pinot Noir 2024

    Italy · Marche · Pinot Noir

    Clean and elegant.

    The Fattoria Mancini Impero Blanc de Pinot Noir 2024 is a unique white wine crafted from 100% Pinot Noir grapes. This wine is produced in the Marche region of Italy and showcases a distinctive style through its white vinification process.

    Food match

    Savory dishes like mushroom risotto, roasted chicken, and creamy cheeses.

  • Red

    Fattoria Mancini JNoir Pinot Noir 2023

    Italy · Marche · Pinot Noir

    Light, good body with elegance.

    JNOIR Pinot Noir – the latest red Pinot Noir from Fattoria Mancini. Produced exclusively from grapes from the new vineyards, this wine is made with shorter macerations compared to other Focara wines. This vinification method results in a Pinot Noir with lighter extraction and exceptional drink ability. JNoir is best served at relatively low temperatures

    Food match

    Pasta, charcuterie.

  • Red

    Fattoria Mancini Sangiovese Raje 2024

    Italy · Marche · Sangiovese

    Produced for the first time with the 2024 vintage, Raje is born from the union of two historic expressions from Fattoria Mancini: the classic Sangiovese and the finest Rive Sangiovese label, made exclusively with the grapes from the Rive Monte vineyard. With the new Raje label, Fattoria Mancini has chosen to combine, in a single wine, the pleasantness of the previous classic range and the prestige coming from the company’s finest Sangiovese vineyard.

    Food match

    Serve with light pasta dishes or charcuterie. Both make for a straightforward, enjoyable match.
