TASMANIA


Home to some of the most pristine wilderness on the planet, it is no wonder that Tasmania’s reputation for producing high-quality premium wines is on the rise. Home to around 200 vineyards with a long viticultural history (records date from 1823), it is the home of premium Sparkling wine in Australia and also produces exceptional aromatic Chardonnay, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc as well as premium Pinot Noir across its seven wine growing areas – Tamar Valley, North East, East Coast, North West, Derwent Valley, Coal River Valley and Huon/Channel area, which all combine to make up one controlled appellation. Other varieties that thrive in Tasmania include Pinot Gris, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Gewürztraminer.

There's that famous old French saying in Burgundy, about the good warm vintages, that you would have to be dead not to make good wine. And in the easy years, that's what happens - everyone makes good wine and everyone's picking around the same time. But it's the difficult years – and in the Valley here, we still get three or four difficult years in every ten – they're the years where you make the statement on your skills and your expertise.
