About
MEET THE MAKERS
Lisa and Justin Jenkins bring a clear and dynamic vision to their winemaking, with refined palates shaped by over 30 years of combined experience at some of Melbourne’s most iconic wine bars and restaurants. With extensive experience tasting the world’s best wines, the couple have channeled that expertise into crafting wines that are charismatic and full of personality.
In 2016, the couple returned to South Gippsland, Justin’s childhood home, to pursue the winemaking dream and produce small, limited-release wines that capture a moment in time.
Each Fleet wine is a reflection of its origin and varietal, offering a snapshot of a fleeting moment, lovingly crafted by two seasoned professionals who are driven by flavour and vibrancy.
OUR SIGNATURE APPROACH
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.
Justin’s affinity with South Gippsland shines through in these soulful wines. 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.
Beyond raising their young family with an idyllic life on the farm, the couple are committed to always care for, restore and rejuvenate country for future generations—using a portion of profits to restore farmland to native vegetation.
