The Coal River Valley, nestled in the southern reaches of Tasmania, is a wine region unlike any other. It's a place where the wild beauty of nature meets the precision of viticulture, producing wines that are as unique as the terroir itself.
As a winemaker working in this extraordinary region, I've come to appreciate the delicate balance of factors contributing to our wines' exceptional quality. The climate, a blend of maritime influence and cool mountain air, creates a long, slow-growing season that allows the grapes to develop complex flavours and aromas.
The soils, many of which share jurassic dolerite as a geological base, range from brown dermosols and sandy loams to cracking black clays, provide the perfect foundation for grape vines. They offer excellent drainage, ensuring the roots can access the necessary nutrients while preventing waterlogging.
But it's not just the climate and soil that make the Coal River Valley so special. It's also the people who call this region home. A community of passionate and dedicated winemakers, growers, and artisans, we work together to produce wines that truly reflect the character of Tasmania.
From the crisp, refreshing Rieslings to the elegant Pinot Noirs, the Coal River Valley offers a diverse range of wines that will delight even the most discerning palate. So, the next time you're looking for a truly exceptional wine, explore the hidden gem of Tasmania's Coal River Valley.
