Fleet Wines

Posted in:

    In the heart of South Gippsland's Leongatha lies a winery that tells a story not just of grapes and terroir, but of emotions and connections. Fleet Wines, founded by Lisa and Justin Jenkins, is more than just a winery; it's a testament to love, longing, and a deep appreciation for the land.

    Fleet Wines' journey began with Lisa and Justin's desire to create wines that evoke emotions and celebrate the unique terroir of their beloved region. Drawing on their backgrounds in hospitality and a shared passion for wine, they embarked on a mission to craft wines that reflect the essence of South Gippsland.

    Central to Fleet Wines' ethos is a commitment to minimal intervention winemaking, allowing the grapes to express themselves fully. From the vineyard to the cellar, every step is guided by a reverence for nature and a desire to capture the true character of the land.

    Their approach to winemaking is as dynamic as it is thoughtful. Whether it's their Skin Contact Pinot Gris, with its textured, fleshy core and tea-like tannins, or their Dixons Creek Chardonnay, boasting a refreshing acidity and plush texture, each wine tells a story of its origins and the emotions that inspired it.

    The latest addition to Fleet Wines' portfolio, the 2023 Nostalgia and Leongatha Pinot Noir, encapsulates the essence of their winemaking philosophy. Both wines offer an exploration of emotion and terroir, with vibrant aromatics, complex flavour profiles, and a sense of balance and poise.

    What sets Fleet Wines apart is not just the quality of their wines, but their commitment to sustainability and value for money. With each bottle, they offer not just a taste of South Gippsland, but a glimpse into the emotions and connections that make their wines truly special.

    In a world where authenticity and sustainability are increasingly valued, Fleet Wines stands as a beacon of integrity and passion. Their wines are not just a product; they're an experience—an invitation to connect with the land, with each other, and with the emotions that make life worth savouring.
