Tasmania

Tasmania has a climate that is too cool for normal viticulture.

But Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir perform well here.

Tamania startet as a source of base wines for Australian Sparkling wines, but ha proven it can also make excellent still wines.

Tasmania is an island. It has a cool maritime climate, cooled by ocean winds. Conditions free of extremes, mild spring, mild summer, warm days and cool nights, allow the grapes to ripen slowly and develop intense flavours with a refreshing structure and a natural balance.

The Pinot Noir is light to medium-bodied, delicate and fragrant. It is also used in the production of sparkling wines.

The Chardonnay is elegant and complex with high natural acidity. It is used extensively in sparkling wine production.
