About this Wine

Our Pinot Gris is grown on a gravel base soil covered in red loam with patches of riverbed silt. Facing north this soil forms part of the western bank of the Derwent river. Our Pinot Gris plot was planted in 1991, the vines now being over 30 years old. The vineyard being biodynamically farmed since 2010 with certification coming in 2013. The vine’s root system is now well established deep into the soil horizons below. The gravel element infuses a perfumed aroma and contributes savouriness and minerality to the palate. Southern Tasmania allows its crops a long and mostly mild and dry ripening period bestowing tiers of flavour. This wine’s texture is generally attributed to barrel fermentation. As well, the grape’s thick skins and the vine’s low yields, often unique to cool climate biodynamic viticulture, creates beuatiful body and structure.

Steve and Marco artfully and skillfully ferment the grapes into wine that is more akin to European Pinot Gris examples rather than those produced in Australia. This is due to small batch winemaking where the grapes are processed as soon as they are handpicked and the must is fermented on full lees in puncheons (100% 500L French oak barrels) with a portion chilled and left on skins for 2 nights. Colour, tannin and phenolics are extracted by this cold soaking technique. Rested over winter in the same puncheons, the wine is then bottled in early summer. – Stefano Lubiana Wines

Tasmanian Wine

The Tasmanian wine region is a cool climate region, the most southerly of all wine regions in Australia. Due to the lower temperatures, the area grows primarily Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc, with smaller plantings of Riesling, Pinot Gris and Cabernet Sauvignon.

“Having been to many wine tastings over the years, I can definitely say from a personal standpoint that Tasmanian Chardonnay and Pinot noir are always ones I look forward to trying if they are on the menu. They are almost always high calibre wines that can easily compete against what the rest of the world has to offer in these varietals.” Jason C. – World Wine.

While Tasmania makes great still wines, the exceptional Chardonnay and Pinot Noir also make for excellent sparkling wines.

More recent vintages since 2005 have been positively impacted by the effects of global warming. With slightly higher temperatures the grapes are ensured to ripen fully and produce more vibrant wine.
