Fleet Wines

CELLAR DOOR VIBES 💙💙 Special thanks to Cam @knowstudio for weaving his magic and capturing us so beautifully xo #cellardoor #wine #winegippsland #leongatha #vinyl

At Fleet, our wine club is about more than just what’s in the glass—it’s about connection, community and giving back to the land that makes it all possible. Our members receive a thoughtfully curated selection of Fleet wines, reflecting the season and what we’re most excited about right now. It’s a chance to explore the range, discover new favourites, and stay closely connected to what we’re growing and making. And just as importantly, 5% of every membership goes directly towards regreening farmland with Australian native plantings—supporting biodiversity, improving soil health, and helping restore the landscapes we farm. Good wine, grown with purpose. 🍃 Link in the bio to head to our website for more info.

Presenting Bacchus, a new exhibition featuring works by four local artists, Fiona Blandford, Jan Learmonth, Sarah Parkes and Ellen Taylor, curated by Jasmin McNeill. Responding to the winemaking process and surrounding landscape of Fleet Wines in Leongatha, each artist has created new works spanning wine painting, photography, flora installations, found object weavings and mixed media sculptures. Where wine is often cast as a signifier of the divine and wealthy, this exhibition insists on its origins in labour, process and impermanence, giving new meaning to Fleet’s preoccupation with “capturing those fleeting moments”.

Introducing Fiona Estelle Blandford as our second artist in residence at the South Gippsland Art Cube. Fiona is a politically engaged multidisciplinary artist working across photography, design and cultural research. Her practice explores the relationship between art, place and culture — tracing how meaning shifts over time through context and memory. We’ve loved having Fiona with us over harvest, developing site-responsive work grounded in narrative and environment. Her projects reflect a sharp, poetic gaze on contemporary culture. Alongside her practice, Fiona and her partner run the excellent @souvie_tees well worth a look 🫰 Thanks @fiona_blandford for capturing us during harvest 🍇

A quick visit to @fleet_wines vineyard during vintage time just to say “Hello” Vintage is looking magnificent and all the work the Justin and Lisa have put on their soil is starting to pay off. Can’t wait to taste the result in a few months and share their work with all our guests. . . . . #gippslandwines #fdwinehouse #thewineclub

What’s the difference between a Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo? Best way to find out is by comparing as my father would say “apples with apples”. So line up some benchmark wines then compare and contrast those wines, glass by glass side-by-side. @stef @ Marchard Fleet Praeter Bericanto Sandro fay Brezza #wineeducation #nebbiolo #pinotnoir

To mark International Women's day, we're shining a spotlight on the inspiring female wine maker Lisa Jenkins. Lisa established Fleet Wines with her husband Justin in 2016, which has grown to become one of Gippsland's most acclaimed wineries. We asked Lisa what first sparked her passion for winemaking, and how being a woman shaped her experience in the wine industry. “Wine was always there in the background of my hospitality career. My early influences came from chefs and sommeliers who valued discipline, balance and detail. But what truly drew me in was the way wine connects people to place. It’s agricultural, creative and deeply sensory all at once." “When I first started in wine, women were present but underrepresented. Now there’s far more visibility, leadership and support networks for women across all areas from vineyard management to winemaking, distribution and ownership." "While there’s still progress to be made, women are no longer the exception - we’re shaping styles, running businesses and influencing the broader direction of the industry.” Finally, we asked Lisa if she was a grape varietal, which would she be? “I’d probably be Riesling. It’s a variety that reflects place so clearly and evolves beautifully over time. I love that combination of restraint and longevity.” Read our full interview with Lisa on our website - link in bio. #womeninwine

In the spirit of International Women’s Day this month, the wonderful folk at Farmers Daughters asked Lisa a few questions about her journey in wine… And when asked which grape variety best describes her? Well take a guess and write in the comments or head to the link in the bio to read the full interview 🍷 📷 by the super talented @laurenmurphyphotography 🫰

Pinot Noir vs Pinot Meunier @fleet_wines Different grapes but same family Pinot Noir is all about finesse. Red cherry, rose, forest floor. Fine tannins, higher tension, long elegant finish. Pinot Meunier is the crowd pleaser. Apple, pear, red plum. Softer, rounder, juicy and approachable. #pinotnoir #pinotmeunier #winewithnopretension
