Prancing Horse Estate
A boutique Winery and Cellar Door in the Mornington Peninsula
Prancing Horse Estate is a biodynamic and organic vineyard in Red Hill South on the Mornington Peninsula, producing premium cool-climate wines. Established in 1985, the estate is dedicated to sustainable viticulture, with a focus on minimal intervention winemaking. The vineyard is home to Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir, crafted with a commitment to showcasing the region’s unique terroir.
