Underground Winemakers
Eclectic wines creatively packaged
Mornington Peninsula and Multi Regional, Victoria

Working from their Mornington Peninsula winery, Underground Winemakers Adrian Hennessy and Peter Stebbing take a highly responsive and dynamic approach to their craft. They spent years working under the radar, fine tuning their senses and developing their understanding. The Black and White Range of wines are an expression of Underground’s professional skills. These wines are high quality regional wines expressive of variety and offered at a competitive price. The Colour Range allows Underground’s creativity to cut loose. These wines steer away from the mainstream and explore the opportunities offered by the winemaking process.
Underground ‘Veriloose’ Sauvignon Blanc (very sweet and very finely sparkling), ‘Violets’ Moscato and ‘Dr’ Durif offer eclectic additions to more well known varieties such as ‘Ms Thug’ Chardonnay, ‘Offspring’ Pinot Gris, ‘Rose-eh’ Grenache Rosé, ‘Thug’ Basket Press Pinot Noir and ‘Cab Merl Oh’ Cabernet Merlot.

“Deep colour; a mix of spice, earth and licorice is wrapped around the black fruits of the bouquet and an instant replay on the palate. The tannin and overall management of extract is very good. The only fly in the ointment is a stained Diam.”
James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion website, Oct 2011
