Shaped by the Surf Coast of Victoria
Since the early 2000s, our Mt Moriac grove has been nurtured on a ridge of rich volcanic soil in Victoria’s Surf Coast hinterland, with a focus on healthy soils, exceptional freshness and outstanding extra virgin olive oil.
Perched on a volcanic ridge just inland from the Surf Coast, Mt Moriac looks across to the Otway Ranges, which shelter the grove from the harshest South West Victorian weather.
Only a short drive from the ocean, the grove sits in an ideal Mediterranean-style climate for Spanish and Italian olive varietals.

Structure and Green notes
Volcanic soils and moderate rainfall give Mt Moriac oils their green, grassy backbone and firm, peppery finish.
Shelter from the Otways helps fruit ripen slowly, building ripe red‑apple and tropical fruit aromatics in the bolder Spanish blends.
Because the grove relies mainly on rainfall, each harvest shows subtle seasonal shifts in intensity and complexity.
