Open
Meet PINOT - a co-lab with our neighbours @jimmyrumdistillery that has been in the pipeline for a little while now and available just in time for Father's Day from @crittendenwines! Earlier this year, our local Peninsula neighbour Jimmy approached us to supply him with Pinot Noir fruit for a project he had in mind. We jumped at the chance to get involved and handed over some of our precious berries. PINOT was made by steeping double-distilled cane spirit over 250kg of our premium Pinot Noir grapes. The result is a spectacular coloured beverage with exceptional depth and flavour. We couldn't resist creating a special Father's Day gift featuring this collaboration so have assembled a PINOT Wine Pack with five of our Pinot wines + a bottle of the very limited edition Jimmy Rum PINOT. We'll be hand delivering these Gift Packs for FREE to Peninsula locations next Friday 3 September - so you can be sure they're in Dad's safe hands for Father's Day (order by Wed 1 Sept) We're also offering free delivery Australia wide through Aus-post. Order a Crittenden x Jimmy Rum PINOT pack for Dad (or you) from the link in their bio #mphinterland #morningtonpeninsula #morningtonpeninsulahinterland #visitvictoria #stayclosegofurther #findyourwaymorningtonpeninsula #supportlocal #crittendenwines #jimmyrum #colab #pinot #pinotnoir
