Winemaking

Pinot Gris grapes from blocks 6,8 and 10 of our Relbia vineyard were picked at optimal ripeness in late March 2023. Gentle whole bunch pressing was carried out at the winery, with the free run portion fermenting at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks to retain a delicate aromatic profile, whereas the pressings were placed in older oak barrels for fermentation and maturation on lees to build texture and body. In early June 2023 the two components were combined to create the final blend. Gentle fining, stabilisation and clarification processes followed, and the wine was bottled in late August 2023.

Tamar Valley

The Tamar Valley is Tasmania’s oldest wine region, located in Northern Tasmania and stretching from Launceston to the Bass Strait.

This region is renowned for its cool maritime climate and iron-rich soils, which provide ideal growing conditions for producing premium wines.

Home to over 30 family-owned wineries, the Tamar Valley accounts for more than a third of Tasmania’s total wine production. The region has a long history of viticulture, with its first commercial vineyard established in the mid-1800s at Windermere, and its cuttings even contributing to the early vineyards in South Australia.

Today, the Tamar Valley is celebrated for its Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, and sparkling wines, all of which reflect the region’s exceptional terroir and winemaking heritage.
