Melbourne executive buys Mornington Peninsula’s first commercial vineyard

A Melbourne business executive has acquired the prized Main Ridge Estate vineyard in Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula for more than $3.25 million. The five-hectare property, with three hectares under vine, at 80 William Road in the affluent rural town of Red Hill was the first commercial vineyard on Mornington Peninsula when it was founded 40 years ago by winemakers Rosalie and Nat White, who have decided to retire.
