Portsea Estate Wines

Portsea Estate Wines Regeneratively run single-vineyard wines grown and crafted on the calcareous, maritime soils of Australia's wildest coastline. Winemaker: Matt Lugg

The Portsea Estate vineyard is located on the century old Tintagel property overlooking Bass Strait at the very tip of Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. Our philosophy is to produce hand crafted wines that represent the unique characters of the maritime site. The property is owned and managed by vigneron and filmmaker, Warwick Ross and his sister Caron. Warwick recently produced and directed highl

y awarded feature-documentary, RED OBSESSION, which investigates China's obsession with the fine wines of Bordeaux. Narrated by Academy Award winner, Russell Crowe, the film melded Warwick's passion for wine-making and cinema. RED OBSESSION is now available on iTunes and DVD after a global theatrical release.

We are preparing soil at our Main Ridge vineyard for a new chardonnay planting. We’ve run our flock of sheep through the site for additional nutrients and our cover crops are now up and going before the winter rains set in.

Thanks to our Main Ridge vineyard manager .jones for the exciting project.

Pressed and bottled immediately after harvest from our estate-grown 25-year-old trees, this early-season oil is vibrant, peppery and naturally rich in polyphenols, with a vivid green hue that captures the freshness of the season.

2026 olive harvest, complete.

Hand-picked and pressed within 24 hours — the window that keeps polyphenols high.

Special thanks to Margot Ross for the home-cooked harvest lunch: a Tuscan beef stew, alongside a few special bottles.

A dry season kept yields modest. The oil is fresh, robust, grassy, with a peppery finish.

Our 2026 Fresh Press lands soon — available for just two months. Wine club members have first access. Join our club via link in bio.
