Garagiste is one of Australia's brightest cool-climate producers, created by Barnaby Flanders back in 2006. Crafting an impressive range of small-batch Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Garagiste has a focus on expressing the single-sites and sub-regions of the Peninsula.
The 2025 Garagiste Le Stagiaire Pinot Noir is a blend of Peninsula grapes grown predominantly at Garagiste's Merricks North vineyard (40%), with the balance from Barney's Balnarring, Red Hill and Merricks Grove sites. Opening with lifted floral aromatics, the palate features layers of strawberry, black cherry and raspberry flavours, with an underlying savouriness and touch of spice. A Peninsula Pinot Noir of enormous drink-now appeal, this offers sensational value-for-money at this limited-time discounted price.
