It’s the annual of celebration of Dad on Sunday 6 September – so why not get Dad a gift of wine for Father’s Day?  Some reds (maybe our new release Cabernet Merlot?), or whites (what about our 2014 Riesling?), or maybe a combination of both?  And to help Dad (and you!) celebrate the day in style we’ll send it to you freight free – just enter and redeem the coupon code DADDAY in our online shopping cart and you’ll be able to choose an option for free shipping. Once received we’ll ship your order with Australia Post as soon as possible!

Cheers

Fred

The results of the 2015 Tasmanian Wine Show have been released, and we are pleased to have been awarded a total of 9 show medals.  Highlights included:

Our 2012 Riesling winning a gold medal – this wine also recently won a “blue gold” (equivalent to a double gold medal) and was placed in the Top 100 wines at the 2014 Sydney International Wine Competition; here is a link to the judge’s comments. Certainly worth its 96 point and “Best of the Best” rating from James Halliday!

Our 2011 Pinot Noir and 2011 Chardonnay both winning a silver medal in very strong classes – these medals again highlight the suitability of these Burgundy varieties to Tasmania’s cool climate.

Our 2013 Late Picked Schönburger winning a silver medal – we have only just released this wine (refer below) and know it develops beautifully with bottle age, so this is an exciting early sign of its quality.

 For the 25^th straight year we will be at Taste of Tasmania (28 December 2014 to 3 January 2015)!  We are almost certainly the only stall to have done the last 25 consecutive years and will be located inside the main Princes Wharf Shed – Stall 3. As you walk into the shed we will be just inside the entry on the water side. Come and take the opportunity to drop in and see us and taste some of our wines.

We’ll also be at Festivalé in Launceston’s City Park over the weekend of 13^th – 15^th February 2015.  A great venue on the lawns in the shade of those magnificent heritage trees.
