Circe

Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia

Circe is a partnership inspired by growing up on the Mornington Peninsula and a love of Pinot Noir. Deriving from Homer, the name Circe is a nice metaphor for the seductions, and perils, of this classic variety. Dan Buckle and Aaron Drummond met at Mount Langi Ghiran in 2007. After a vintage of Shiraz it was inevitable that the conversation would turn to any other varietal except Shiraz. ‘With both of us growing up on the Mornington Peninsula, we were keen and curious as to what we could do with Pinot Noir from such great soil’.
