Port Phillip Estateand Kooyong Wines

Rammed earth and limestone walls spiral out of the Red Hill South hillside — an architectural statement that earns its drama. Inside, the Gjergja family's cellar door and dining room open onto vineyard views stretching to the coast. Winemaker Tim Perrin focuses the estate on Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir. Chef Sam Borley handles the kitchen. The building does a lot of the work, but the wines justify the trip.
