2023 Awards Lunch
Our Annual Awards Lunch will be held at the Ranelagh Club in Mt Eliza on Saturday Oct 28th from 12 noon
The FMPV Award for Excellence in 2023 has been awarded to Sam Coverdale, who is the founder and winemaker of Polperro Wines. He started the winery 15 years ago and has applied strong organic and biodynamic principals to produce high- class pinot gris, chardonnay and pinot noir. Their 2021 Little Laney Pinot Noir was recently ranked #1 Pinot Noir on the Mornington Peninsula, receiving 98 points from Huon Cooke Real Review. Sam is also a member of the Mornington Peninsula Wines (MPVA) executive committee.
Congratulatiions Sam!
For lunch, we have secured the Ranelagh Club dining area and adjoining deck. A welcome glass of Stonier Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir and some canapes will be served on the deck before moving into the dining room where we will enjoy a full 3-course lunch matched to the following wines:
With Entree: 2014 Moorooduc Estate McIntyre Chardonnay
With Main:
- 2012 Principia Altior Pinot Noir and
- 2014 Moorooduc Estate McIntyre Shiraz
Save some of the above wine to have with the dessert or you can buy soft drinks or other alcohol at the bar. Just remember that the FMPV has a responsibility for the Responsible Serving of Alcohol.
The food will be matched to the above cellar wines using the Halliday notes on these wines. The FMPV has provided the cellar wines at a significant discount.
This event promises to be “one not to be missed” and it is recommended that attendees be prepared for a long and wonderful lunch at the scenic vista of the Ranelagh Club.
Bookings will close on 14th October so get in early because there is expected to be extra guests.
Don’t miss out on this fabulous afternoon.
