About Fleet Wines

Lisa and Justin Jenkins have a clear, dynamic idea of what makes an alluring wine, loaded with charisma. With 30+ years of combined hospitality experience at some of Melbourne’s iconic wine bars and restaurants, they’ve tasted some of the world’s best wines. With this in mind, they’ve turned their hands to winemaking. At the core of their wines are flavour, texture and enjoyment.

In 2016, the couple returned to South Gippsland where Justin grew up, to make wine. The name ‘Fleet Wines’ is born from the couple’s openness to sourcing grapes from further afield. Working with tiny amounts, these wines are celebrated for being of the moment and limited in their release.

Each Fleet Wine speaks of both place and variety. Each wine captures a fleeting moment in time, made by two intrinsic wine and food pros chasing flavour and vibrancy.

With a glass of Fleet in hand, and friends by your side, you can only enjoy yourself!

Shrugging convention, Fleet’s approach to wine is refreshingly open. Nothing is formulaic, each vintage and plot of fruit is cajoled into being the best it can be. This means each release is incredibly exciting, often a little unpredictable. What is always guaranteed is that it will be deliciously pure and fun. Great wines to share with your friends – they always excite and over-deliver on personality!

Lisa’s extensive hospitality background (she’s both a qualified chef and sommelier) has led her to wine show judging and undertaking the very demanding WSET Diploma in Wines. Her ability to inject her technical background into making delicious and evocative wines runs through all Fleet wines.

Justin’s affinity with South Gippsland shines through in these soulful wines. The young family are so committed to the region they recently bought a small farm, just outside Leongatha. Spring 2021 will see the first planting of pinot noir and chardonnay vines. With a house and chickens to follow down the track.

Fleet Wines

In 2019, to our surprise and delight, we bought a small farm! We’re incredibly excited about raising our daughters on this property, as well as the chance to grow our own vines. It’s 21 hectares, just outside Leongatha in Gippsland. We’re planning to plant the first block in Spring 2021 to pinot noir and chardonnay vines. More plantings will follow in time.

It’s taken us nearly two years of thinking, planning and most of all dreaming before we decided on a name for our farm. Ever Reve for us, represents a deep connection to the land we are on, we are custodians and with that bares the responsibility of nurturing for not only our lifetime, but for our children’s and their children’s. We believe in a conscious farming philosophy where habitat is crucial, and soil health is our focus.

We are and always Forever Dreaming… Join us as we paint this blank canvas in our lives. No doubt there’ll be ups and downs. We’ll probably make a few mistakes, and learn many things along the way. We’re hoping to create something very special in our small corner of Victoria. We’ll keep you updated so please check back here to see how our little farm evolves.
