Circe is a partnership inspired by growing up on the Mornington Peninsula and a love of Pinot Noir. Dan Buckle and Aaron Drummond met at Mount Langi Ghiran in 2007. After a vintage of Shiraz it was inevitable that the conversation would turn to any other varietal except Shiraz.
With both of growing up on the Mornington Peninsula, they were keen and curious as to what they could do with Pinot Noir from such great soil. The name Circe derives from Homer and is a nice metaphor for the seductions - and perils - of Pinot Noir.
Today the Circe partnership continues to make some of the Mornington Peninsula's finest examples of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with their wines continuing to gather a large legion of fans.
