James Halliday – Top 100 Wines of the Year - "Beautiful Meadowbank, on Tasmania’s upper Derwent River, is primarily a grape grower with 52ha of vines – enough for only 800 dozen directed to wines contract-made by Peter Dredge. It’s such a ravishing wine, as rich and deep as it is pure and fine. Redefines citrus." - James Halliday (The Weekend Australian)

The Wine Front – "It’s like crunching straight into a Granny Smith apple. There’s lime there too, whispered with fruit sweetness, and notes of hay, grapefruit, florals and herbs, though it’s the apple character that drives it. At least part of this wine spent time in oak and it’s slipped with texture as a result, though it’s a minor element; the wine still cuts on through, like the glimmer of a sunrise on water, and finishes long." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

James Halliday – "Purity and drinkability writ large from Peter Dredge and the team at Meadowbank Wines. Light straw in colour with pure aromas of Meyer lemon, lime and peach skin with notes of crushed stone, pressed white flowers, almond paste, dried mandarin rind and liminal hints of poached pear. It's a wonderfully textural wine, playing on the tension between fruit and acidity, sapid yet expressive, enchanting at the moment with a lot of promise in the cellar." - Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

Tasmania's unique geographical position, with its cool maritime climate, provides a longer growing season, allowing grapes to mature slowly on the vine. This results in wines with intense flavors, balanced acidity, and a distinct aromatic profile. The island's latitude, similar to the famous wine-producing regions of Burgundy and Champagne in France, offers clues about its potential for premium wine production. Pinot Noir is one of the stars of Tasmanian wine, known for its elegant structure and depth. The cool climate ensures that these wines have a bright acidity and delicate fruit notes. In addition to Pinot Noir, the region produces outstanding Chardonnay, with its crisp character and nuanced flavors, often compared to some of the finest in the world. Another remarkable feature of Tasmania's wine landscape is its micro-terroirs. Different parts of the island, with their individual soil compositions and microclimates, give rise to wines with varied characteristics. From the Tamar Valley to the East Coast, each region tells a different story through its wines, echoing the richness and diversity of Tasmania's viticultural heritage. Through a combination of nature's bounty and the diligence of its winemakers, Tasmania has carved a niche for itself as a haven for wine enthusiasts seeking authenticity and excellence.
Tasmanian wine refers to wines made on the island with local grapes. At latitudes between 40 and 44° south, these are amongst the coldest vineyards in Australia, which means that producers champion cold-climate grapes, such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The region is particularly famous for its sparkling wines, made using the traditional method and often compared to Champagne. Tasmania also produces excellent table wine with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. Tasmania has a relatively small wine industry, with around 160 wineries and 2300 hectares of vineyards. However, the region has gained a reputation for producing some of the best cold-climate wines in Australia, and its wines are highly sought after, both domestically and internationally.
The most popular Tasmania wines are sparkling wines, mainly those made using the traditional method. Tasmania’s cool climate and long growing season are ideal for producing grapes with high acidity and complex flavours, essential for making high-quality sparkling wines. Tasmania’s sparkling wines are often compared to Champagne and are considered some of Australia’s best. Aside from sparkling wines, Tasmania is known for its Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc wines. These wines are also highly regarded for their quality and are popular among wine enthusiasts. Of course, the region’s producers experiment with other varieties with promising results.
Tasmania produces various wines, including sparkling, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. Tasmania’s sparkling wines are made using the traditional method, often with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, which involves a secondary fermentation in the bottle. This method produces wines with fine bubbles and complex yeasty flavours. Tasmania’s Pinot Noir wines are known for their elegance and complexity. The region’s cool climate promotes high acidity and concentration, essential for making high-quality Pinot Noir wines. Tasmania’s Chardonnay wines are also highly regarded for the same reason. Tasmania’s Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc wines are also popular among wine enthusiasts but there are others, including Pinot Gris, Rosé and Shiraz. These wines are known for their crisp acidity and intense flavour, resulting from the region’s cool climate.
Although one might enjoy a bottle of wine over others, the market has favoured Tasmania’s sparkling wine over other styles. 42 Degrees South Premier Cuvée and Jansz Tasmania Vintage Rosé are notable examples of the category. Tasmania’s Pinot Noir wines are also highly regarded for their quality. Examples include Winstead Lot 16 Pinot Noir, Merriworth Wines Estate Pinot Noir and Kelvedon Estate Pinot Noir. As for Chardonnay, some of the most exciting include 42 Degrees South Chardonnay and Storm Bay Chardonnay. The finest Tasmanian wines come from Pipers River, Tamar Valley, the North West, Freycinet, Derwent Valley, Huon Valley and Coal River Valley. These regions are looking to get their own geographical indications (GI) — as of today, all Tasmanian wines are labels with the regional Tasmania GI. Overall, Tasmania produces a range of high-quality wines, and the best wine for you will depend on your taste and preferences.
Tasmania might be smaller than other major wine regions, but today, it’s widely available. There’s nothing like what the southern island has to offer for premium bubbles and elegant Pinot, Chardonnay or Riesling. Have you tried Tasmanian wine?
