We popped by this winery on a wet rainy day. We had breakfast at Peninsula Pantry, then went up to Arthur's Seat to view some sceneries before making our way to Pt. Leo Estate for some wine.
First impression of Pt. Leo Estate, is that it is huge. Love the space.

We headed to the Cellar Door to sample some wine. Opted for the Premium Wine Tasting for the 4 of us.

First drink was a blend of Pinot Noir, Clone and Chardonnay. Refreshing and sparkly. Just what we needed.

Next we had the two Chardonnay's; Chardonnay 2018 and Reserve Chardonnay 2019. Were informed to compare its taste, and thus to sip it one after the other. Not sure why, but after having these two...I thought I had tasted cheese. It was supposed to be curd-like lemon creaminess.
Next, we had the Pinot Noir. Yay!

Medium bodied and tasted of ripe berries. Just my type of drink.

We bought a bottle of Pinot Noir after that, and had AUD10 discounted off the bottle price. We also bought the tickets to the Sculpture Park to do a bit of walking and photo taking after all the wine. The Sculpture Park is an outdoor gallery within 330 acres of landscaped grounds.

It was a nice outing to Pt. Leo Estate. The stroll in the park was nice and luckily, it did not rain while we were outdoors.
