This wine breaths as if it were alive. A vibrant nose of ripe white peach, nectarine and lemon curd. The palate is creamy, with a silken smooth mouthfeel that's layered with notes of grilled nuts. Leave it to the cool growing environment of Tasmania to give this wine its crunchy crisp of acidity to balance it's richness. Clean, pure fruit flavours with great length and balance. Talk about elegance.

It's not "new" news to hear that Tassie is making amazing wines. What may be news is that Tasmania was the first state to plant vines in Australia! The estate's history dates back to the early days where William Lyne established the original vineyard in 1826. William’s descendants Rodney and Lyn Lyne took over the land and created "Spring Vale Winery" in 1986. Talk about a family with roots! Now, Rodney and Lyn lead the charge of wine production, and their son, Tim, champions viticulture. The winery is located on the driest part of the island, the Freycinet Coast. Here the low rainfall, warm days and cool nights create an ideal climate for slow ripening and excellent grape flavour. The family's production is primarily focused on world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, but Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris and a splash of Pinot Meunier certainly elevate the range with bottles to buzz about. Not to mention, they also make a couple small batch gins!
