In 2013, Handpicked Wines opened its first-ever vineyard on the Mornington Peninsula, a cruisy hour’s drive from Melbourne. It was a strong addition to the renowned wine region, already home to a diverse range of vineyards producing some of the country’s top drops.

Located near the shores of Western Port , Capella Vineyard features 5.2 hectares of pinot noir and 1.6 hectares of chardonnay; it makes sense, then, that Handpicked Wines’ pinot noirs and chardonnays are two of its most awarded varietals. The flagship of six vineyards owned by Handpicked Wines across the country, Capella is also one of the first vineyards in Victoria to receive sustainability credentials from Sustainable Winegrowing Australia and the National Association for Sustainable Agriculture Australia.

To celebrate Capella’s 10th anniversary, Handpicked Wines is offering one Broadsheet reader and a friend a wine experience that will be hard to beat (worth approximately $8000) in March 2024, during the height of vintage in this iconic wine region.

This year, gift them a dinner to remember with a Broadsheet Gift Card.
