Michael Telera has always felt at home on the Mornington Peninsula and it's no wonder, his parents migrated to Australia from coastal towns in Puglia Italy and passed down a family winemaking tradition that dates back to the 1500’s, hence the reason for etching the family crest on every bottle.
The Telera philosophy is to make exceptionally beautiful wines while respecting site and honouring approach.
"We want to create an experience with the wine we produce, we don’t want people to forget it. The pursuit has always been to find a symphony in a glass."
Michael’s wine making journey began in 2008 at Paradigm Hill where he plied his craft as a cellar hand before becoming an assistant winemaker.
In 2011 Michael began leasing a vineyard in red Hill formally known as part of MLF (Mike and Lew’s Folly) to produce the brand.
Measuring just under a half an acre, the vineyard faces NNE on a fairly steep protected site (approximately 250 meters above sea level) on Arthurs Seat Road, Red Hill.
The Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc vines were planted to run east-west to capture optimal exposure of the gentle morning sun and spaced to allow even ripening which intern produces balanced and alluring fruit flavours.
Telera has managed to create an experience with their wines that resonates with purists and wine lovers alike
