Aromatic White Wines
Tasmania’s cool long growing season lends itself to grow cracking fruit driven white wine styles. We grow Riesling, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc and Malvasia, bursting with natural aromatics. They all have fantastic acid structure, due to the exemplary viticulture, that allows our winemaking to travel down the European path of up to 100% oak fermentation in large Foudres and old barrels depending on the variety. The idea here is not to create oak flavour but is a tool to temper the acid and at the same time build dimension and a facet of complexity. Our aromatics are all 100% free of synthetics and harmful chemicals. We put our environment, employees and our customers’ health first.
This wine is an homage to our family’s history of wine growing in Northern Italy, now current day Istria (Croatia). Malvasia Istriana is a native variety from this region. Made in a skin contact style in egg shaped ceramic vessels named Amphora. One of the benefits of fermenting in ceramic Amphora is the ability of the shells to perspire which allows for self-cooling during fermentation.

Our new release Riesling is beautifully balanced example of cool climate Riesling, it is a pure expression of terroir – crisp, incisive and dry. The texture is silky and rounded, this complexity coming from the wine’s 100% maturation in Austrian foudres. The previous vintage recently featured in Tyson Seltzer's top 250 wines of Australia of 2024.

Our 2024 Sauvignon Blanc is hand picked and whole bunch pressed and then barreled down to Austrian Fouderes in our underground cellar to ferment and mature. Our winemakers employ simple winemaking techniques to create a fumé style with purity and finesse to balance the astringent tannins and phenolics while promoting texture. The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc has aromas of orange blossom, melon and pineapple. This wine is gentle and has a fine line of acid with a gentle, long, yet fresh finish.

In the glass our 2023 Pinot Gris shows a slight golden blush. The nose builds with cut straw, rose perfume and spice. The palate's texture is lucious with ripe fruit characters, apricot, pear and quince.
